tempy will render a simple, visually pleasing weather report for current and near-future conditions to your terminal.
tempy does not require an API key, but you can register one for yourself if you wish. See the section on registering your own API key
pip install git+https://github.com/noprobelm/tempy
tempy is also available as tempy-git on the AUR.

Use
tempy nycto get the current weather for New York City -
Units are imperial by default. Specify the unit system you desire with the
-uor--unitsflags:tempy nyc -u metric
When tempy runs, a skeleton configuration file will be created in $HOME/.config/tempyrc. You can specify location, units, and api_key options in this file to make tempy run on a default set of arguments.
By default, tempy makes requests to the https://www.weatherapi.com API endpoint via my proxy server at http://www.noprobelm.dev. This is to prevent you from needing to register your own API key.
If you'd rather not make requests through my server, you can always register your own key for free in minutes at www.weatherapi.com. Just store your key in $HOME/.config/tempyrc and tempy will take care of the rest.
