Get the weather forecast for the next 24 to 48 for your location.

weather(){ curl -s "http://api.wunderground.com/auto/wui/geo/ForecastXML/index.xml?query=${@:-<YOURZIPORLOCATION>}"|perl -ne '/<title>([^<]+)/&&printf "%s: ",$1;/<fcttext>([^<]+)/&&print $1,"\n"';}
This shell function grabs the weather forecast for the next 24 to 48 hours from weatherunderground.com. Replace <YOURZIPORLOCATION> with your zip code or your "city, state" or "city, country", then calling the function without any arguments returns the weather for that location. Calling the function with a zip code or place name as an argument returns the weather for that location instead of your default. To add a bit of color formatting to the output, use the following instead: weather(){ curl -s "http://api.wunderground.com/auto/wui/geo/ForecastXML/index.xml?query=${@:-<YOURZIPORLOCATION>}"|perl -ne '/<title>([^<]+)/&&printf "\x1B[0;34m%s\x1B[0m: ",$1;/<fcttext>([^<]+)/&&print $1,"\n"';} Requires: perl, curl

leftyfb, it's not a script. You need to enter it at as a function at your shell, or add it to a file that gets sourced by your shell such as ~/.bashrc. Try pasting it at the bottom of your ~/.bashrc file and then source your bashrc with the command "source ~/.bashrc". After that you should be able to just type weather at your prompt to call it. Just make sure that you change <YOURZIPORLOCATION> to your location, like "89110" or "eugene, or".

leftyfb, what version of bash are you using? I've tested this on recent versions of ash, bash, dash, ksh, and zsh and didn't have any problems on any of them.
