wttr.in for Nushell

A weather fetcher for Nushell that pulls data from wttr.in.

Turns wttr.in's weather data into formatted tables with color gradients, caching, and options for current conditions, forecasts, hourly breakdowns, and astronomy - all without leaving your terminal.

What it does

Shows current weather, forecasts, and astronomy data in your terminal. Temperature gradients use ANSI colors. Works with Nerd Fonts by default, but you can switch to emojis or plain text if that's not your thing.

Caches results for 15 minutes so you don't hammer the API. Auto-detects your location from IP, or you can specify cities, airport codes, landmarks (with ~), or domains (with @). Units switch between metric and imperial based on where you are, unless you override it.

Has a one-line mode for status bars, raw output for piping to other commands, and a debug mode when things aren't working.

Installation

Nerd Font icons are enabled by default. Install a Nerd Font and set it as your terminal font, or use -e for emojis or -t for plain text instead.

1. Download weather.nu
2. Put it in your Nushell scripts directory (~/.config/nushell/scripts/ on Linux/Mac, %APPDATA%\nushell\scripts\ on Windows)
3. Add this to your config.nu:

use scripts/weather.nu

Tips

Change the default city — edit the city parameter default in weather.nu:

city: string = ""       # Change to your city, e.g. "New York"

Pipe to other tools — use --raw and --text together to strip formatting for clean serialization:

weather -3 -r -t | to json
weather -3 -r -t | to toon                        # compact format for LLM input
weather -r -t | to json | clipboard copy          # copy to clipboard as JSON

TOON support via fdncred/nu_plugin_toon
Clipboard support via fmotalleb/nu_plugin_clipboard
