Retrieves the current and forecasted weather from the BBC Weather APIs

# wx

`wx` is a command line tool for displaying the current weather from your nearest observation station and the forecasted weather for the next 14 days. Uses the BBC weather APIs for the source of information.

```zsh

go install github.com/codehex/bbcweather/cmd/wx@latest

```

Locations can be in the form of

- The name of the location, city or region

- The first part of the post code

- Longitude and latitude

- The location ID (see [Geonames](https://www.geonames.org/) dataset for more details on location IDs, data dump is [here](http://download.geonames.org/export/dump/))

e.g.

```shell

wx Edinburgh Airport     # By specific location

wx New York              # By city or town

wx Lake District         # By region

wx Switzerland           # By country

wx SW19                  # By postcode (e.g. Wimbeldon)

wx 48.8566,2.3522        # By longitude and latitude (e.g. Paris)

wx 2993458               # By location ID (e.g. Monaco - https://www.geonames.org/2993458)

```

A preset location can be used by setting the `WX_QUERY` env variable

```zsh

export WX_QUERY=Paris

wx

```
