about
Local weather, minus the weather-site clutter.
wthrtxt.com is a small, free weather reader for current conditions, hour-by-hour details, seven-day forecasts, rainfall, and daily temperature records and historical averages.
How it works
Use your browser location or search for a place. Forecasts are cached briefly for speed, and every location gets a readable, shareable URL. Browser requests go to the weather sources directly; the Go server renders the same forecast as plain text for terminals.
Sources
- NOAA / National Weather ServiceU.S. forecasts and station observations
- ACISU.S. station climate records and averages
- Open-Meteoglobal forecasts and ERA5-Land climate estimates
- OpenStreetMap Photonlive place search
- OpenStreetMap Nominatimlocation URL and coordinate lookup
- MaxMind GeoLite2approximate location for terminal requests
Open-Meteo past-hour values and ERA5-Land climate history are model-based estimates, not official station observations.
