I tend to like more basic info than probably many other people, so was really glad to get this simple weather package working:

http://conky.sourceforge.net/weather.tar.gz

Requirements:
  • Place the two scripts in the same location
  • Adjust the parameters for your local situation
  • Install curl from the repos
. Here are the only changed parts of my weather.sh script:

Code:
# s=standard units, m=metric units
UNITS=s

# where this script and the XSLT lives
RUNDIR=/home/jb/scripts


I didn't want any forecast, so omitted the Tomorrow entry from the XLST script, which I have now corrected so the "feels like" feature runs correctly:

Code:
<xsl:text>  Temperature: </xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="tmp"/><xsl:value-of select="/weather/head/ut"/>
<xsl:if test="tmp != /weather/cc/flik">
<xsl:text>
  Feels Like: </xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="flik"/><xsl:value-of select="/weather/head/ut"/>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:text>
  Conditions: </xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="t"/>
<xsl:text>
  Wind: </xsl:text>
<xsl:choose>
   <xsl:when test="wind/s = 'calm'"><xsl:text>0</xsl:text></xsl:when>
   <xsl:otherwise><xsl:value-of select="wind/s"/></xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
<xsl:value-of select="/weather/head/us"/>
<xsl:choose>
   <xsl:when test="wind/s = 'calm'"><xsl:text>(0mph)</xsl:text></xsl:when>
   <xsl:otherwise><xsl:text> (</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="round(wind/s * 0.6214)"/><xsl:text>mph)</xsl:text></xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
<xsl:text> (</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="wind/t"/>
<xsl:text>)</xsl:text>
   </xsl:template>

   <xsl:template match="dayf/day[@d='1']">
<xsl:text>


And finally here is the entry in my conkyrc:

Code:
${color white}Weather:
${color green}${execi 1800 /home/jb/scripts/weather.sh 14456}
[/code][/list]

Can you post your whole conkyrc file?

Sure, but it's pretty boring compared to what I have seen around here and elsewhere. Also, I have divided it up into sections so I could get around more easily:

Code:
#This Conky configuration file has 5 sections:

Finally got the "feels like" correct in this script. This line should read
Code:
<xsl:if test="tmp != /weather/cc/flik">
which provides the script with the complete path for the variable. I have edited my original post to correct for this.

Today when the wind is 25mph and the temperature is 42F, that "feels like" carries an important: dress warmly!
