https://www.flightradar24.com/-33.73,149.45/6Today were going to make the perfect device to let you know if you can ride your bike to work or not. This project will inform you at a glance of the current and future weather and let you know if there is or was rain in your local area. Just a few lines into the raspberry pi terminal and a couple of free API keys will create a locally hosted webpage which gives you the coolest weather radar on the block. Also if you want an even easier solution I demonstrate windy.com and planeradar24.com. Talking of the Terminal Commands I use. APT Get is a good method of getting a managed package which are scrutinised by the Open Source Community. Curl Get is a method of getting data from a URL which happens to be a text script. It then goes into bash and gets Sudo Executed. It is worthwhile being a little considerate when using Curl Get in the terminal encase the webpage has been spoofed.
