That would be cool, but how would you condense the information enough that it's both useful and doesn't take up 2/3 of a line?

Emojis? For the current weather, a single emoji could convey quite a lot; e.g. a snowflake for sub-60 weather (I have a low tolerance for cold), a sun for 60-80, fire emoji for 80+... Now, I don't know if anyone truly needs the weather in their terminal prompt, but it is doable.

  perhaps the RPROMPT would be better. i usually use it to show time %T.

  Microcharts or sparklines are another option. I've seen a few implementations along these lines for shell prompts / shell use. This might be useful for temperature, humidity, wind, preciptitation, and similar measures, either as quantities or timelines. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparkline https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparkline https://github.com/deeplook/sparklines https://github.com/deeplook/sparklines Similar: https://www.linux-magazine.com/Issues/2016/183/Calc-Conditional-Formatting https://www.linux-magazine.com/Issues/2016/183/Calc-Conditio...

It’s provides different formats, I was using this one in the past from Powershell invoke-restmethod wttr.in/?format=4 …and I think it was quite compact

  I feel like I should hate this... But I don't. I may steal this idea later, than there would be a whole 2 of us!

  That's a great old-school idea. I used to run it that way but forgot. I have also started adding a time stamp to the second, so that when I run long commands and come back later in a tmux session I can see when it finished.
