What inxi commnd shows a map of pollen concentration, weather alerts, and air quality? How do you generate a graph comparing this year's temperatures to the previous yeas' average climate?

Comparing inxi to Windows Weather is like comparing vi to Autodesk. You can make 3d graphics for sure, but it's not exactly comparable.

When I run inxi -w, I get this:

    Weather:
     Message: Error: Your access to this resource has been blocked. Automated
       requests or excessive use are not permitted. This is clearly stated in
       both the help menu and man page. If you want a CLI weather tool for
       routine use, try wttr.in, or use a weather widget. Remember, you never
       had a "right" to this feature, it was just a little easter egg, mostly
       for sys admins, which has instead been consistently abused. If you want
       to know your local weather, look out your window, there it is.

Looks like something in my powerline config somewhere must be querying too much? I can't find anything on my systems, must be a very old misconfiguration on my end. I still think I prefer the Microsoft tool.
