hi,
I want to use the wget command to download weather data from a web page and save it on my computer every hour. can anyone tell me how to do that?

Hmm... Most of the folks I know of who do some form of web scraping do so with cURL.

Using cURL for Web Scraping

cURL is a versatile command used by programmers for data collection and data transfers, and you can leverage cURL for web scraping

I don't have any direct assistance but there's that.

There are also ways to get weather in our terminal (using wget and probably curl, I once wrote an article on the subject) and any of those may do all the work you're looking for and the only thing left would be to save that data with some sort of cron job or the likes.

Lemme see if I can find that article...
