Current weather: 21°C (Haze, smoke)
I created a new assistant for my blog that fetches the current weather information, and stores it together with the post in a file called weather.json
. The JSON file can then be used by the template that generates each post.
I'm fetching weather from wttr.in[archived], which is a fantastic website that provides weather data programmatically. It figures out your location based on the IP address, and can be used with curl
to provide a nice login message on your computer — try it out:
$ curl wttr.in
The fact that it automatically detects the location makes it perfect for my needs.
