In the experimental map view, that is available under the view code v3,
weather information about a geographical region is available:
$ curl v3.wttr.in/Bayern.sxl
or directly in browser:
The map view currently supports three formats:
- PNG (for browser and messangers);
- Sixel (terminal inline images support);
- IIP (terminal with iterm2 inline images protocol support).

uxterm -ti vt340
To view images in kitty:
curl -s v3.wttr.in/Tabasco.png | kitty icat --align=left
or even without curl at all, because icat knows how to handle URLs:
kitty icat --align=left https://v3.wttr.in/Tabasco.png
