TLDR
Show 3-day forecast for current location
SYNOPSIS
wego [options] [location] [days]
DESCRIPTION
wego is a terminal weather client that displays forecasts using ASCII art. Written in Go, it shows temperature, wind speed and direction, visibility, and precipitation probability.
The tool supports multiple weather data backends including OpenWeatherMap. You need to register for an API key and configure it in ~/.wegorc before use.
Three output frontends are available: ascii-art-table (classic terminal look), emoji (modern icons), and json (for scripting). The display requires a UTF-8 terminal with 256 colors.

HISTORY
wego was created as a fun terminal weather application. It inspired wttr.in, a web service that wraps wego and serves weather via curl, making terminal weather checks as simple as `curl wttr.in`.
