wttr.in is a console-oriented weather forecast service that renders weather reports as ANSI terminal art, HTML, or PNG, accessible via curl or a browser. It is written in Go and can be self-hosted, handling tens of millions of queries daily on the public instance.
Use cases
- check the weather from the terminal with curl
- get a weather forecast for a city or airport code in my shell
- add weather output to scripts or shell prompts
- self-host a weather API service
- get weather by IP address location automatically
- view weather as ASCII art in the console
When to choose
- you want quick weather lookups from a terminal without installing anything
- you need a scriptable, plain-text weather API
- you want a self-hostable weather service
When to avoid
- you need rich graphical weather apps or radar maps
- you need guaranteed SLA or high-accuracy commercial forecast data
- you need programmatic JSON weather data at scale from a supported API
