URL-encode spaces:

wttr.in/New+York
```
or
```
wttr.in/New%20York
```
Airport codes work:
```
wttr.in/JFK
```
,
```
wttr.in/SVO
```
Force metric:
```
?m
```
(Celsius, km/h)
Force imperial:
```
?u
```
(Fahrenheit, mph)
Today only:
```
?1
```
Current only:
```
?0
```
No colors:
```
?T
```
(better for parsing)

Integration with E-Ink

Perfect for heartbeat or status display:

import subprocess

def get_weather(city="Moscow"):
    result = subprocess.run(
        f'curl -s "wttr.in/{city}?format=%c+%t"',
        shell=True, capture_output=True, text=True
    )
    return result.stdout.strip()

# Use in heartbeat:
weather = get_weather()
show_face("happy", f"SAY:{weather}")

Example Responses

# Quick
curl -s "wttr.in/Moscow?format=3"
→ Moscow: ☀️ -5°C

# Detailed  
curl -s "wttr.in/Moscow?format=%l:+%c+%t+(%h+humidity,+%w+wind)"
→ Moscow: ☀️ -5°C (45% humidity, ↑10km/h wind)

Fallback: Open-Meteo API

If wttr.in is down, use Open-Meteo (JSON, no key):

# Get coordinates first (Moscow: 55.75, 37.62)
curl -s "https://api.open-meteo.com/v1/forecast?latitude=55.75&longitude=37.62&current_weather=true"

Returns JSON with

temperature

windspeed
