# Weather
# =======

# By Jezen Thomas <[email protected]>
#
# This script sends a couple of requests over the network to retrieve
# approximate location data, and the current weather for that location. This is
# useful if for example you want to display the current weather in your tmux
# status bar.

# There are three things you will need to do before using this script.
#
# 1. Install jq with your package manager of choice (homebrew, apt-get, etc.)
# 2. Sign up for a free account with OpenWeatherMap to grab your API key
# 3. Add your OpenWeatherMap API key where it says API_KEY

set -e

# Not all icons for weather symbols have been added yet. If the weather
# category is not matched in this case statement, the command output will
# include the category ID. You can add the appropriate emoji as you go along.
