Installation and Configuration

  1. Copy sunshine.el somewhere in your Emacs load-path. To see what your load-path is, run inside emacs: C-h v load-path<RET>.

  2. Add the following to your .emacs file:

(require 'sunshine)

  1. Configure your location by setting the variable sunshine-location. You can provide a string, like “New York, NY” or a ZIP code, like “90210”. This variable is available through the Customize facility.

When specifying a ZIP code, you may receive results from a foreign country. This is due to weird behavior from OpenWeatherMap. To resolve this, append a comma and the country code after the ZIP code. Note the lack of a space in the example below.

(setq sunshine-location "90210,USA")

A few other configuration options are available, see the configuration group called sunshine.

Usage

To display the forecast for your location, call sunshine-forecast.

Two key mappings are available within the forecast window:

If you are using a GUI Emacs, you may like to display the weather forecast icons by default. To do so, set sunshine-show-icons to t.
