# wttrin.el

Emacs frontend for weather web service [wttr.in](https://wttr.in).

This fork has a few minor improvements:
- It displays the date and time	the weather was displayed.
- It allows for customizing the font and font height used to display.
- On location re-query, the original weather buffer is closed, reducing buffer clutter.
- The license has changed from the MIT license to the GNU General Public License Version 3.

In addition, this fork applies the following patches (outstanding in bcbcarl/emacs-wttrin):
user-agent and mime-language-string were not as expected by the server
- [patch to request the return ascii instead of html](https://github.com/bcbcarl/emacs-wttrin/pull/18) from brannala
- [patch to select the unit system](https://github.com/bcbcarl/emacs-wttrin/pull/10) from RJTK
- [patch to use https instead of http](https://github.com/bcbcarl/emacs-wttrin/pull/15) from relrod

All changes have been manually validated as working as of Monday, April 01, 2024 (not kidding). Automatic CI tests forthcoming.

Bug reports and PRs are welcome. Enjoy!

## Usage

Set a default cities list for completion:

```elisp
(setq wttrin-default-cities '( "Berkeley, California" "Taipei, Taiwan" "Tainan, Taiwan"))
```

You can also specify default HTTP request Header for Accept-Language:

```elisp
(setq wttrin-default-accept-language '("Accept-Language" . "zh-TW")))
```

As well as the unit system, "m" for metric and "u" for USCS/imperial (the default is to choose based on your location):

```elisp
(setq wttrin-unit-system "m")
```

If you want the weather to display in a monospaced font other than your default, you may specify it:

```elisp
(setq wttrin-font-name "Hack Nerd Font Mono")
```

You can specify the font height as well:

```elisp
(setq wttrin-font-name "Liberation Mono")
```

Then run `M-x wttrin` to display the weather.

After the weather is displayed you may press `q` to quit the buffer or `g` to query the weather for another location.
