A terminal weather app with ASCII animations driven by real-time weather data.
Features real-time weather from Open-Meteo with animated rain, snow, thunderstorms, flying airplanes, day/night cycles, and auto-location detection.
You need Rust installed.
git clone https://github.com/veirt/weathr.git
cd weathr
cargo install --path .Available in AUR:
or
Available as a flake:
inputs = {
weathr.url = "github:Veirt/weathr";
};Add to packages:
environment.systemPackages = [
inputs.weathr.packages.${system}.default
];or use home-manager module option:
imports = [
inputs.weathr.homeModules.weathr
];
programs.weathr = {
enable = true;
settings = {
hide_hud = true;
};
};The config file location depends on your platform:
- Linux:
~/.config/weathr/config.toml(or$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/weathr/config.toml) - macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/weathr/config.toml
You can also place a config.toml in the current working directory, which takes priority over the default location.
# Linux
mkdir -p ~/.config/weathr
# macOS
mkdir -p ~/Library/Application\ Support/weathrEdit the config file at the appropriate path for your platform:
# Hide the HUD (Heads Up Display) with weather details
hide_hud = false
# Run silently without startup messages (errors still shown)
silent = false
[location]
# Location coordinates (overridden if auto = true)
latitude = 40.7128
longitude = -74.0060
# Auto-detect location via IP (defaults to true if config missing)
auto = false
# Hide the location name in the UI
hide = false
[units]
# Temperature unit: "celsius" or "fahrenheit"
temperature = "celsius"
# Wind speed unit: "kmh", "ms", "mph", or "kn"
wind_speed = "kmh"
# Precipitation unit: "mm" or "inch"
precipitation = "mm"# Tokyo, Japan
latitude = 35.6762
longitude = 139.6503
# Sydney, Australia
latitude = -33.8688
longitude = 151.2093Run with real-time weather:
Simulate weather conditions for testing:
# Simulate rain
weathr --simulate rain
# Simulate snow at night
weathr --simulate snow --night
# Clear day with falling leaves
weathr --simulate clear --leavesAvailable weather conditions:
- Clear Skies:
clear,partly-cloudy,cloudy,overcast - Precipitation:
fog,drizzle,rain,freezing-rain,rain-showers - Snow:
snow,snow-grains,snow-showers - Storms:
thunderstorm,thunderstorm-hail
Override configuration:
# Use imperial units (°F, mph, inch)
weathr --imperial
# Use metric units (°C, km/h, mm) - default
weathr --metric
# Auto-detect location via IP
weathr --auto-location
# Hide location coordinates
weathr --hide-location
# Hide status HUD
weathr --hide-hud
# Run silently (suppress non-error output)
weathr --silent
# Combine flags
weathr --imperial --auto-locationqorQ- QuitCtrl+C- Exit
The application respects several environment variables:
NO_COLOR- When set, disables all color output (accessibility feature)COLORTERM- Detects truecolor support (values: "truecolor", "24bit")TERM- Used for terminal capability detection (e.g., "xterm-256color")
Examples:
# Disable colors for accessibility
NO_COLOR=1 weathrWhen using auto = true in config or the --auto-location flag, the application makes a request to ipinfo.io to detect your approximate location based on your IP address.
This is optional. You can disable auto-location and manually specify coordinates in your config file to avoid external API calls.
