I mentioned yesterday getting the current temperature through a different weather service – I have a long-ish script that pulls from the OpenWeatherMap API (the length of the script is determined by a couple case statements, not by any clever coding) – as to the choice of OpenWeatherMap, that was determined not by the accuracy of their reporting but that they provided an XML feed (many more options are available that only provide a JSON feed) – and I was looking for an XML feed because, while setting up my system, I already had xmllint pre-installed (pulled in by some other package) whereas if I wanted to handle JSON, I would have to install jq separately – basically, just kicking the can down the road
