Moreover that's exactly the solution I proposed some days ago but mine was simplier and within dwm.c. This will not satisfy Donald Chai : Donald Chai wrote in a previous post : My status text includes the weather (updated only every 15min to avoid hammering their servers), and the time (updated once a minute, on the minute, to reduce my wakeups-per-second in PowerTOP).
