It looks nice, but it is gobbledegook :-) My "zip code" is 8704, which it interprets to mean: Location: Fierzë, Bashkia Tropojë, Qarku i Kukësit, Shqipëria veriore, 8704, Shqipëria [42.2653096,20.0293587] Without adding "your_zip", it is even worse. Then I tried our old postcode from London - result: We were unable to find your location so we have brought you to Oymyakon, one of the coldest permanently inhabited locales on the planet. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (5.6°C)

Canadian postal codes don't work either. However, running it without the postal code puts me in the right city.

Street addresses seem to work: curl wttr.in/ohiro_rd yields: Ohiro Road, Aro Valley, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6021, New Zealand / Aotearoa [-41.2972192,174.7689097] Street numbers seem to narrow the coordinates further. I guess it using the IP address to narrow to at least the country (it gets the city wrong on IP address alone).

For me, it works perfectly, both methods :-) I don't know how to find information about the site. I found this only: https://github.com/chubin/wttr.in/tree/master/doc Try "https://v3.wttr.in/Bayern" There is https://github.com/chubin/wttr.in/blob/master/README.md try "curl wttr.in/Berna" It accepts 3 letter airport codes.
