Here's a version that:

• Has a cache to keep the last good forecast. It will use that when it fails to load a forecast.
• Can return wind speed in Mph.

Thanks for this script works like a charm. Only a little cosmetical change is needed to make it the perfect fit. How can I change the date output from YYYY-MM-DD into DD-MM-YYYY?

@fhmbrg You need to change data['tooltip'] += f"{day['date']}</b>\n" to data['tooltip'] += f"{datetime.strptime(day['date'], '%Y-%m-%d').strftime('%d-%m-%Y')}</b>\n"

What this does is take day['date'] which has the YYYY-MM-DD format, convert it to a datetime object (via strptime, string "parse" time) and then pass the result to strftime (string "format" time) to get the final formatting.

edit: fixed nesting in fstring

@PavlosMelissinos thanks for your reply you've made my day.

Is it possible to show the time in 24-hour format instead of pm/am ?

Hey y'all, this gist got a little out of hand with so many fixes and version floating around. I therefore converted the whole script to Rust and made it much more configurable via CLI arguments - you can now set your date format, exact location, AM/PM mode, and more. I thought it's nicer to have this one binary that doesn't depend on Python. check it out here:

https://github.com/bjesus/wttrbar

If I missed your use case please submit an issue there 🙏

Thank you so much!

Thank you! Much appreciated! 🙏🏻😀

I installed the AUR package and replaced my old weather module (python variant) with the following entry, assuming that the date is in dd.mm.yyyy format and the time format is 24h, since I did not specify --ampm:

But date is shown as YYYY-MM-DD and time format is am/pm.

"custom/weather": {
    "format": "{}",
    "tooltip": true,
    "interval": 3600,
    "exec": "wttrbar --location=52382 --main-indicator=FeelsLikeC --date-format=%d.%m.%Y",
    "return-type": "json"
  }, 

I also tried enclosing e. g. FeelsLikeC in single quotes and without "=" in front of it. How to I set these parameters?

@fhmbrg please use the issues in the repo fo this, so others can benefit from it too.

the syntax is --main-indicator "FeelsLikeC" --dateformat "%d.%m.%Y". I should however change it to use --date-format instead of --dateformat, will update it later

This awesome, hackable Python version is public domain now, right?

Sure - it always was - but I don't know why one would prefer using this and not the Rust based implementation (which is MIT licensed, so practically also do whatever you want with it).

I personally prefer using this over the Rust solution, as it's easier (at least, to folks familiar with Python) to hack together, or configure, things the way we want to.

is the location grabbed automatically, or do we need to specify it? @fhmbrg has put a number in location, where do i get that number for my specific location? Thanks in advance

@veggiedev you can check the wttr docs to see what they allow. Visit their help page and check under Supported location types.

Can it show both "feelslikeC" and "tempC", if so, please, how to do that?

@daxisunder Just copy and paste line 95 and change one of them to be tempC, and also update the description accordingly.

The rust version allows you to use to use --custom-indicator to show multiple things as the main indicator.

@bjesus I was still using this python version (very often it was not working for unknown reason - it was just not showing the weather in some specific refresh-cycle, next hour after refresh it was OK).

Today I was copying this plugin and config to my new Arch sway machine and the script was working fine from console, but swaybar was complaining about some JSON parsing - weird.

I was googling how to fix this problem and ... I encounter your Rust version which I was not even aware of!
I don't have to say how great news is this!
Your great weather applet is now in rock-solid rust version! Yay! 🎉
Much thank you for this. Now I have it migrated and works like a charm! 🚀 :)

Thanks @manio , such a great message to receive! ❤️ it's nice to have so many people contributing to wttrbar now (14 contributers so far!) and the the strictness of Rust makes it easier to keep it all structured in a sane way.
