Though you might appreciate the clean, unfussy minimalism of the Linux terminal, it can also be extensively customized using a few lines of code, as shown in our guide . However, developer Veirt has pushed things far beyond giving the CLI a new lick of paint with Weathr . This is a Rust-based app that teleports real-time ASCII art-based weather animations to your terminal backdrop.
The above animated demo provided by Veirt shows the terminal at night, during a thunderstorm. Here you see a moonlit backdrop flecked with rain, with an occasional fork of lightning piercing the night sky. This ASCII animation isn’t random; it is driven by tapping into real-time weather data provided by Open-Meteo and using auto-location detection. Veirt says that the animation engine can pull in “animated rain, snow, thunderstorms, flying airplanes, [and] day/night cycles.”
If you want to enjoy these real-time weather backdrops in your terminal, so you no longer need to look out of the window to check the real-world weather, your Linux machine will need Rust installed. Veirt shares a guide to setup, installation, and configuration. Moreover, you can test/simulate weather conditions to make sure Weathr is working properly. In the UK, for example, you might want to simulate a sunny day, for a change.
