You could do something like this

  w () {
    curl -s "wttr.in/${*// /+}"
  }
to make it work with places that have spaces in their name. E.g.

  w new york

Just use IFS for this

w() { ( IFS=+; curl wttr.in/"$*";); }

I love when you can post something simple like a function/alias and learn so many new things. Never seen IFS before. Updated locally and works perfectly!
