An Alfred workflow for showing weather forecasts
![Screenshot](https://github.com/jason0x43/alfred-weather/raw/6ce2116d7d54/doc/daily.png)
This workflow lets you access weather forecasts from several APIs:
Installation
Download the latest workflow package from the
releases page and double
click it — Alfred will take care of the rest.
Setup
The workflow has one top-level command, wtr
, and three sub-commands, daily
(wtd
), hourly (wth
), and options (wto
). The first thing you'll need to do
is configure some options.
![Options](https://github.com/jason0x43/alfred-weather/raw/6ce2116d7d54/doc/options.png)
Some options are, well, optional, but the Service and related Key options, and a
default location, are required. You need an API key for the service you choose.
Both of the currently supported services (OpenWeather and Tomorrow.io) are free
to use (for a reasonable number of requests per day).
Once you've entered the service key, selection the "Location" option then enter
a ZIP code or city name, then wait a couple of seconds. When it looks like your
desired location has been found, press Enter to save it.
Usage
The wtd
keyword will show a forecast for the next several days.

The wth
keyword will show a forecast for the next several hours.
![Hourly forecast](https://github.com/jason0x43/alfred-weather/raw/6ce2116d7d54/doc/hourly.png)
In either case, you can enter a location query to get the forecast for somewhere
other than your default location.

![ZIP query](https://github.com/jason0x43/alfred-weather/raw/6ce2116d7d54/doc/daily_zip.png)
Actioning a day in the daily forecast will jump to an hourly forecast for that
day, if hourly data is available. Actioning the list heading will jump back to
the daily forecast.
If there are any active weather alerts, they'll show at the top of the forecast.
Actioning an alert will open more detailed information in a browser window.
If there is a newer version of the workflow available, a message will be
displayed at the top of the result list. Actioning it will open a release page
for the new version in a browser window.

Credits
The package includes a number of icon sets from the Weather Underground
and from weathericonsets.com (I'm not up to drawing weather icons yet).
Each set includes an info.json
file that gives a short description and
provides a source URL for the icon set.
