4 points · Open discussionI like this site. It would be even better if the non-https resources were changed to use https to avoid the warnings. Is there a page that describes how to get the weather for different locations without knowing the appropriate names in advance? It looks like you can use airport codes which can be looked up. [1] oh, that has the link to the help page. [2]

In Text Only Weather ReportLooks like wttr.in forks wego which uses these sources [0]:
* worldweatheronline.com
* darksky.net
* openweathermap.com
I couldn't find anything more concrete.

In curl https://v2.wttr.in/Londonbut there's no good way for a server to tell if it's requested by a text based client, wttr.in is hard coding a list of text clients' User-Agent [0], which is not so pretty imo. If look for "Accept: text/plain" in request header, curl as the most popular client won't set it.

In Brow.sh: a modern text-based browserThis works great from the new Windows Terminal (using PowerShell 7):
Invoke-RestMethod http://wttr.in
For some reason they recommend that early in the readme, but not down in https://github.com/chubin/wttr.in#windows-users where they discuss various issues on Windows.
EDIT: I see now that lzybkr already suggested using the even shorter alias `irm` for `Invoke-RestMethod`. Nice!
