Current Location Weather
Get current weather conditions using IP-based geolocation or a specified location.
Quick Start
Run the weather script to get current conditions:
bash
python scripts/get_weather.py
Usage Options
Auto-detect location (default)
bash
python scripts/get_weather.py
Specify a location
bash
python scripts/get_weather.py --location "Tokyo, Japan" python scripts/get_weather.py -l "New York"
Get JSON output (for programmatic use)
bash
python scripts/get_weather.py --format json python scripts/get_weather.py -f json -l "London"
Output Examples
Text format (default)

How It Works
- •Location detection: Uses ip-api.com (free) to detect location from IP address
- •Weather data: Fetches from wttr.in (free, no API key required)
- •No dependencies: Uses only Python standard library (urllib, json)
Notes
- •Network access required for both geolocation and weather data
- •IP-based location may not be precise (city-level accuracy)
- •For specific locations, use
--locationflag for better accuracy
