Ok, so I've tried but I cannot get this working. My config is below:

PHP Code:
#!/bin/sh                                                                                                 

Volume() {
    VolInf="$(mixerctl outputs.master | sed -e 's|.*,||g')"
    echo "Vol $name $(expr \( $VolInf \* 100 \) / 254)%"
}

Battery() {
    Capacity="$(envstat -s acpibat0:charge | tail -1 | sed -e 's,.*(\([ ]*[0-9]*\)\..*,\1,g')%"
    State="$(envstat -d acpibat0 | awk 'FNR == 10 {print $2}')"

    if [ "${State}" = "TRUE" ]; then
        echo 'Charging' ${Capacity}
    else
        echo 'Discharging' ${Capacity}
    fi
}

Weather() {
    echo "$(curl -s wttr.in/Melbourne?format='%C+%t\n')"
}

Pkgs() {
    echo "$(pkg_info | wc -l | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//') pkgs"
}

Update() {
    echo \
        "$(Weather) | $(Pkgs) | $(Battery) | $(Volume)" &
    wait
}

pidfile="/tmp/status-$USER.pid"

if [ "$1" = "reload" ]; then
 kill -USR1 "$(cat "$pidfile")"
 exit $?
fi

if [ "$1" != "no-pidfile" ]; then
 echo "$$" > "$pidfile"
fi
trap true USR1

while :
do
    Update
    sleep 60 &
    wait $!
done 

I've also added this to my .spectrwm.conf

PHP Code:
# Volume Keys
program[raise_volume]   = mixerctl -w outputs.master+=12 && kill -USR1 "$(cat "/tmp/status-$USER.pid")"       
bind[raise_volume]      = XF86AudioRaiseVolume
program[lower_volume]   = mixerctl -w outputs.master-=12 && kill -USR1 "$(cat "/tmp/status-$USER.pid")"
bind[lower_volume]      = XF86AudioLowerVolume
