Ah, gotcha.

I download and post the weather (among other things), which is automated with a script.  I grab the weather info for Southern Ontario using curl from here:

https://weather.gc.ca/forecast/public_bulletins_e.html?Bulletin=fpcn11.cwto

And then use various linux tools to strip out the HTML, etc to make it presentable to post.

I also use the same source to post weather for my local city to Mastodon.

.... Good news. Ten weeks from Friday will be a pretty good day
