Using powershell:<p>PS&#62; Get-Weather<p>gives:<p>Location : Secret, Location (ABCD) 12-34N 123-45W 85M Time : Oct 18, 2012 - 02:30 AM EDT / 2012.10.18 0630 UTC Wind : from the SE (140 degrees) at 9 MPH (8 KT):0 Visibility : greater than 7 mile(s):0 SkyConditions : mostly cloudy Temperature : 50 F (10 C) DewPoint : 46 F (8 C) RelativeHumidity : 87% Pressure : 29.18 in.

A while backed a hacked a little script to update the LCD display on old HP printers with the current weather: <a href="https://gist.github.com/832730" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/832730</a><p>I doubt it works any more since I don't think that Google Weather API still exists, but it should work if you switch it to Yahoo or one of the others.

I ran across a little CLI called "weatherman" [1] that does this, though you need to input your location manually each time. The data comes from WeatherBug.com, but it seems to work well enough for my purposes.<p>1. <a href="http://darkhorse.nu/software/" rel="nofollow">http://darkhorse.nu/software/</a>

I wrote a script a little while back that texts the weather to you every morning. It used google's unofficial weather api.<p><a href="https://github.com/doctoboggan/Wake-up-to-the-Weather/blob/master/textWeather.py" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/doctoboggan/Wake-up-to-the-Weather/blob/m...</a>

Here's a simpler version that doesn't require PHP or an API key. Only works on Plan 9, though, but you could probably port it.<p><a href="http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/plan9/rc/bin/weather" rel="nofollow">http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/plan9/rc/bin/weather</a>

Using windows: Go to window, open, stick your nose out, and you know the weather. Look up to sky to predict weather for next half day.

Well this was a pleasant surprise to find.
