WEATHER(7) (alice) WEATHER(7)
NAME
weather - conditions and forecast by town
SYNOPSIS
weather [ -h ] [ -m ]
DESCRIPTION
Weather reports current weather conditions and a forecast
for towns in the contiguous United States. It reads town
names from the standard input, one per line. Each input
line should be in the style of
`walla walla, wa'
where the state is given as the 2-letter Post Office abbre-
viation.
The information provided is the temperature, humidity,
whether or not it is raining or snowing, and an indication
of cloudiness and visibility if it is not. If the wind is
above 10 knots the wind speed and direction are given. Up
to three forecasts are given (assuming they can be found
within a 4×4 degree latitude-longitude square): a forecast
of high and low temperatures plus probability of precipita-
tion taken from some numerical model of the atmosphere, a
general area forecast and a marine forecast (if near the
coast and if the -m argument is given).
The command weather -h is equivalent to `weather' followed
by a single input line of `murray hill, nj'.
