Weather without Friction in Your Terminal

Because I need to know if I can write software outside.

Hey folks!

The weather command in YEN is now in a much better place. I bet you didn’t even know we had it! Why not give it a try? When you run weather off your shell you’ll see the following in you Terminal:

Yeah. That’s it. Magic.

What Was Shipped

The command supports:

• ASCII condition icons alongside current conditions (day/night variants for clear/cloudy, plus rain, snow, thunder, fog)

• 6-hour hourly forecast strip with compact mini-icons and temperatures

• City lookup with --city

• Manual coordinates with --lat and --lon

• Metric or imperial units with --metric or --imperial

• Grouped output with vertical spacing across clear sections: now + feels-like, hourly forecast, today’s high / low, wind (with direction), humidity, precipitation, pressure, cloud cover, UV index, and sunrise/sunset with 24hr local time labels

• A single provider path (no provider toggle flags)

Open-Meteo is how we get it done and is the single provider path for weather in YEN.

Why I Built This

I actually spend most of my time outside, at a park, deep in my Terminal, writing software for YEN and working on my tan.

So, I built it for me.

Remember that YEN is all about speed and so I wanted to be able to answer this question quickly:

Can I work outside today?

And that’s it. Now, I don’t have to leave my Terminal. And neither do you

One command, predictable results. Fast. Enjoy!
