    Awesome, thanks! It's hard being a metric user in the US :P

      It seems to do region detection, though. `curl wttr.in/dresden` gives me celsius scale and km/h wind speeds.
      - Cyph0n 10y ago
        Yes, but I'm located in the US, so I get Fahrenheit.

Hmm. "Weather for City: Santa Rosa, Philippines" That's the wrong Santa Rosa, in the wrong country. There's an interesting bug in there somewhere.

  It accepts airport codes, so you can use the one for Sonoma County Airport (assuming it's close by enough). http://wttr.in/sts http://wttr.in/sts

  TO THE DEVELOPER, FWIW: I'm also in California and it thinks I'm in the Philippines in a town with the same name as one a few miles from here. I assume you use IP to find town, country; throw away country; look up town in a list with country names in alphabetical order (Philippines < United States) Note that even if you get the country right it won't be enough, because there is a "Springfield" in each of the 50 states. You'll have to get keep all of the location info you get from the IP lookup, not throw part of it away and attempt to recover it.

    As a workaround, you can use your zip code instead. E.g. http://wttr.in/90401 http://wttr.in/90401

This is great. Hope the dev fixes location detection! Weather from the terminal, woot
- majewsky 10y ago
  Location detection is notoriously hard. For example, my auto-detected location is 500 km off because of the corporate HTTP proxy.

  As mentioned above, you can explicitly specify cities and locations in multiple ways. Chances are, it uses the GMap api (or similar), so you can input pretty much anything resembling a location description. Not sure there is something to fix :)
