But that's not web-scale and written in a functional language!

Cool! for fahrenheit you can change the units to imperial

  function weather(){curl -s "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=$1&units=imperial" | jq .main.temp | figlet -kcf big}

Perhaps I'm a bash noob, but when I try to paste that in my shell, it complains about a syntax error near `{curl`. Am I doing something wrong?

There are spacing issues for me. Try

    function weather() { curl -s "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=$1&units=metric" | jq .main.temp | figlet -kcf big ;}

I wrote this in zsh. It seems in bash you need to add a space before the bracket

May be you should post a gist. The line is getting truncated.
