terminal-weather is an animated terminal weather dashboard. It presents current conditions, hourly forecasts and a seven-day outlook through a keyboard-driven interface with configurable themes, visualisations and motion effects.
The application can automatically determine your location or accept a city name or geographic coordinates. A non-interactive mode produces a coloured forecast summary or structured JSON suitable for scripts, status bars and other automation. No account or API key is required.
This is free and open source software.
