That's actually more weather information than I want to display (in part for space issues), but I might like to know/figure out how to modify the weather script so that it pulls an evening forecast (if possible) and display day information, something like this:

[Example:]
{sky condition icon} Currently: (current conditions)
{sky condition icon} Tonight: (forecast conditions, chance of precipitation perhaps, forecast overnight low)
{sky condition icon} Tomorrow: (forecast conditions, chance of precipitation, forecast high)
{sky condition icon} Following Day: (forecast conditions, chance of precipitation, forecast high)
[/Example:]

I got the script I use from a link posted by rokytnji and spent parts of several days getting it to its current point. But it may not be the best script for what I want to do, so I guess I may need to check out one of the other scripts created by the same person and then see if I can cut it down to what I want. I do only want to run one instance of Conky, if possible.

@thriftee, from where does that weather reports in conky come from? I was reading through it and found I was hearing a voice in my head from the weather reports off of the marine radio. I began reading it with all the pauses and tone changes just the same as if I were listening in the boat.

It's close! I even managed to incorporate an image into the display. However, I have this annoying dash displaying in the forecast for tonight, and I can't see where it is coming from. Here is the relevant part of my .conkyrc:

Code: Select all

${goto 75}${execpi 600 sed -n '8p' $HOME/1a_accuweather_conkyweather_font/tod_ton|fold -w30}

${goto 75}${execpi 600 sed -n '13p' $HOME/1a_accuweather_conkyweather_font/tod_ton|fold -w30}
And here is the weather script that is called (it pulls ten days of information, but I only wanted three):

Any thoughts? Thanks.

Okay, now I feel a bit stupid. I just realized the dash is because there is no forecast high temperature for today to display now that it is evening. __{{emoticon}}__ However, it would be nice if it did not display that, so if anyone has ideas on how to tweak the script to keep the dash (i.e., blank high temperature) from displaying after, say 6:00 p.m. it would be much appreciated.

Also, is there a way to make the display semi-transparent rather than fully transparent in IceWM? I know there are some lua scripts that might work, but after spending several days messing just with the scripts I've already fooled around with, I think I'd like another approach if there is one. Thanks.

Well, mine is made out of the NWS 7 day text forecast, so, yes, that is just like what they read, but then I run the text through a script full of scan/replace and reformatting code, turning it into one long string per section of forecast, and then substitute phrases and words into shorter ways of saying things and once done, I reformat it back to XX width wise, wrapping it to fix my conky window. Its actually around 1/2 the size of the text I start with, and just as readable.

I got a job a few months ago, and so I've been real busy and exhausted when I get home every night. After fighting fires and writing code 12 hrs a day, there just isn't much left in me, but I needed the money...

Walt, I don't see any dash in your conky, but my screen is small, my brain is dead and my eyes are worn out, so its quite possible its there, LOL.

I figured out why it's there. It's nighttime, but the script is still looking for the forecast high temperature though there isn't one and won't be one until after midnight. While I suspect there may be a way to modify the script so it leaves that blank after the high temperature for the day has come and gone, that knowledge is a bit above my pay grade. __{{emoticon}}__

I don't pretend to be much of a coder on linux, and given that your conky is doing pretty well, this probably won't help you much, but maybe it will help someone else coming along another day...

I forget where I found that current forecast script, but its not my code, I just massaged it to get a one liner of current conditions.

The 7 day translation is something I wrote. Its not perfect, but it leaves a nice trail of breadcrumbs for debugging and works well.

Here is the relevant code from mine...
