wego lets you check the weather without leaving your terminal. Instead of opening a browser or a weather app, you just type a quick command and get a forecast right there in your text interface, complete with ASCII art icons that show sun, rain, clouds, and other conditions visually. The app pulls forecast data from WorldWeatherOnline, a weather data provider, and displays it in a clean, readable format. You can see temperature, wind speed and direction, visibility distance, and precipitation amounts for one to five days out. After installing it, you set up a config file with your default location and preferred units (metric or imperial), plus an API key from the weather provider. Then running the app is as simple as typing its name. If you are heading somewhere else, you can pass a different city and number of days on the fly, for example, checking London's forecast for the next few days before a trip. This tool is built for people who spend a lot of time in the terminal, developers, system administrators, or anyone who prefers keyboard-driven workflows over clicking through graphical apps. If you already have a terminal open for coding or server work, it is faster to just type a command than to switch to a browser tab. The README also notes that it uses SSL for its data requests, which means your location queries are encrypted in transit rather than sent in the open. One thing to be aware of is that the project depends on a free API key from WorldWeatherOnline, so you need to register with them to use it. The app itself is written in Go and is open source under a permissive license, meaning anyone can use, modify, and share it freely.
