ASCII animations.

Source

The program runs in a terminal and fetches current weather data from Open‑Meteo, then renders the conditions as animated ASCII scenes. Depending on the reported weather it can display moving rain, snow, thunderstorms, flying airplanes, and a day/night cycle, all within a text‑based user interface. It also detects the user’s location automatically via IP, with the option to specify coordinates or a city manually.

It is aimed at users who prefer command‑line tools and want a visual representation of weather without leaving the terminal. The software is distributed as a compiled binary, a Cargo package, a Docker image, and via various OS package managers, making installation straightforward on Linux, macOS, Windows, and other Unix‑like systems. Configuration is done through a TOML file, allowing control over units, language, location display, and whether to hide the heads‑up display or run silently.

The project is marked stable and includes features such as auto‑location detection, configurable units for temperature, wind speed and precipitation, and optional hiding of the HUD. It supports multiple display modes for the location name and can be run in a container with the configuration mounted read‑only. The source is licensed under an open‑source licence and is available on Crates.io.
