Fetches weather forecast xml from the Israel Meteorology Service ims.gov.il and parses it into rust structs, which are then printed to stdout as json.
I scheduled the cross-compiled rust binary to run on my android phone with https://llamalab.com/automate/ and Termux. Termux parses the JSON output to alert me when it's likely to rain in the next 6 hours. Whats nice is that the week forecast is cached so that even if i lose network access,i still know if it will rain near me.
Could also be setup to alert you or run on linux/mac/windows/raspberry pi with another notification wrapper like https://github.com/nikoksr/notify or https://github.com/caronc/apprise
$ weather --help

Also check out the github action. im proud of the CI there.
I used https://llamalab.com/automate/ Google Play Store link to run the Android build of this on my android phone on a schedule in order to notify me of expected upcoming rain even when my phone is offline.
I use the termux/termux-tasker plugin in llamalabs automate to run the latest Android release on a schedule, and to use the Speak and Notifications blocks of Automate.
The flow file can be imported in the Automate app after you setup termux-tasker with it's permissions.
