Get Weather Reports from the Command Line

Question

Just for my curiosity and knowledge, do you know if it is possible by using the Terminal Command Line to check my current weather conditions only by using the native Apple Framework?

I am aware of some specific command line that I can execute in my Terminal such as finger [email protected] or curl wttr.in/melbourne

but I am more interesting if I can use some kind of utility that comes by default within the official Apple framework and only use the Terminal Shell.

I noticed that Apple has two directories:

PrivateFrameworks/WeatherKit.framework/

PrivateFrameworks/WeatherFoundation.framework/

Yes it's possible to call into the weatherkit framework. The key method in question is currentDailyForecastForCoordinate. You can see a full example of how to use this in practice (as well as other methods that are available) in this repo (not mine), but essentially once you obtain the header file (e.g. via classump) for WeatherKit you can just call into the library via something like

    [[WMWeatherStore sharedWeatherStore] currentConditionsForCoordinate:location.coordinate result:^(WMWeatherData *result) {
        // Do something with result
    }];
