Here's Adelaide in JSON format: http://www.bom.gov.au/fwo/IDS60901/IDS60901.94675.json. Does that help? Cheers. James. From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Steven Parish Sent: Wednesday, 28 November 2012 08:33 To: ozDotNet Subject: Australian Weather Web Services Hi, We have a requirement to retrieve weather information on a daily basis for several Australian locations and was wondering what Web Services others may have had some success with - free would be preferred - but being a commercial requirement our clients would be prepared to pay a modest fee. I have had a quick look at Weather API from wundergound.com (in the USA) http://www.wunderground.com/weather/api/ and even signed up and did a quick test for retrieving the current weather for AU/Sydney - this is a REST API and can return data in several formats including JSON & XML - so it looks OK and pricing is OK - but just wanted to test the water with other developers before jumping in - thanks for any assistance.
