Useage

First an API key is needed from OpenWeather, A free account is all that is needed. Once you have your API key create an environment variable named OPEN_WEATHER_API_KEY that constains your API key.

export OPEN_WEATHER_API_KEY=your-api-key

Each time the shell is restarted this variable will be cleared. To avoid this it can be added to your profile. For example if your shell is zsh the API key can be added to the ~/.zshenv file. Doing this will prevent the need to re-add the key each time the shell is started.
