I was going to make a Vista sidebar version, but there appears to be no

Is there an index or search facility to get locations_id?

Greetings Backstagers,
I am very pleased to inform you that BBC Weather's first RSS feeds are now
live. Links to them can be found on all 5 day forecast pages:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml
<http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml>
The feeds are located at
http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/rss/{world|id}/{location_id}.xml
<http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/rss/{world|id}/{location_id}.xml>
E.g. http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/rss/5day/id/2315.xml
<http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/rss/5day/id/2315.xml> and
http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/rss/5day/world/4567.xml
<http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/rss/5day/world/4567.xml>
All of the 7379 feeds are updated at least* twice a day (at approximately
8AM/PM *GMT*).
We are planning more feeds, and improvements to these ones as well (e.g.
dynamic generation of feeds, which will allow us to offer different
flavours
such as Atom; additional content such as tide times and current
observations
(Met Office willing); additional semantic mark-up).
In the meantime we look forward to seeing your BBC Weather widgets in the
Backstage Widgets Compo:
http://backstage.bbc.co.uk/news/archives/2006/10/widgets_competi.html
<http://backstage.bbc.co.uk/news/archives/2006/10/widgets_competi.html>
I have included geo:lat/long tags in all entries to facilitate mappy
mashups. Enjoy!
I look forward to hearing your comments, concerns and ideas.
Best,
Kass

Hi Michael,
There's a Senegalese proverb: 'Ndank ndank muy japp gollo ci nyaay':
Slowly slowly you catch the monkey in the bush.
At the moment we have only gotten permission from the Met Office to use
day 1 data in our publicly available feeds. The reason the url says
'5day' is that it is a summary of the 5day page. I apologise for any
confusion this causes.
The MO did agree (a while ago) to allow the use of all 5 days' data for
a Backstage feed, on the condition that we use a developer key system.
This is not something that the Weather Centre has the resources to
provide (our new media tech team consists of 1 software engineer (me)
and 1 client-side developer). There was talk of the Backstage team
providing a developer key system, but I do not know the current status
of that project. Perhaps Matt or Ian can say.
Our hope is that eventually the right people at the Met Office will get
excited about the implications of what we have done with their data, and
will allow us include more in the public feeds.
Best,
Kass

RE: [backstage] Official BBC Weather feeds ahoy!
Hi Michael,
There's a Senegalese proverb: 'Ndank ndank muy japp gollo ci nyaay':
Slowly slowly you catch the monkey in the bush.
At the moment we have only gotten permission from the Met Office to use
day 1 data in our publicly available feeds. The reason the url says
'5day' is that it is a summary of the 5day page. I apologise for any
confusion this causes.
The MO did agree (a while ago) to allow the use of all 5 days' data for
a Backstage feed, on the condition that we use a developer key system.
This is not something that the Weather Centre has the resources to
provide (our new media tech team consists of 1 software engineer (me)
and 1 client-side developer). There was talk of the Backstage team
providing a developer key system, but I do not know the current status
of that project. Perhaps Matt or Ian can say.
Our hope is that eventually the right people at the Met Office will get
excited about the implications of what we have done with their data, and
will allow us include more in the public feeds.
Best,
Kass

also the url is a bit deceiving, seeing '5day' in the url made me think
that it would contain a 5 day forecast, but it only seems to be 1 day.
Is there any chance this could have 5 days like the url suggests?

For It was on a different mailing list, that's why. I'll repeat it now, with some bonus info for the curious. The BBC Weather Centre receives global weather model output from the Met Office twice a day. The output from the midnight run arrives at around 0800GMT and the noon run output arrives around 2000GMT. The TV graphics team use a bunch of data files with sufficient resolution to produce the 3D graphics that we all know and love|hate (delete as appropriate). On the new media side we use a data file that contains 5day forecast information for 4300 weather observations stations throughout the world. Of those 4300 obs stations, approximately 300 are in the UK. As Matthew has very astutely observed, we appear to provide forecasts for over 3000 places in the UK, but in fact each one of these UK locations uses data from the most appropriate obs station of the 300. 'Appropriate' is often, but not always, the closest obs station geographically. There are factors (meteorological, topological) that sometimes result in the most appropriate obs station being one that is not the closest one to a given location. We rely on the Met Office to make these judgements, but as you can probably imagine, with over 3000 locations to assign, the process is prone to error. I am in the middle of auditing the UK locations -> obs station mapping, which involves making lots of maps similar to the one you've done, and compiling a list of mappings that look suspicious. I will then be sending that off to the Met Office so that they can fix or explain. > I've noddily plotted these on a Google Map: > http://www.dracos.co.uk/play/bbc-weather-map/ > from which I work out that the world feed's location (the one > in yellow) is presumably the location of the weather station, > not Aberdeen. :-) Indeed. > Searching for a Aberdeen postcode gives one of the above > feeds (though see below), searching for Aberdeen gives > id/1000, whereas going through the UK map - > http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/ukweather/sscotland/ - gives world/0014. > Is there a reason that the postcode searches don't just map > to a single feed for Aberdeen, e.g. the world one?

Links to them can be found on all 5 day forecast pages: > _http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml_ That's great. :) I know an awful lot of hard work must have gone into this. My first comment is that, whereas the mass of feeds is fine if you just want to pick one and subscribe to it or put it on your web site, there seems to be a lot of duplication overall (I thought I remembered reading a post about the mapping of postcodes to forecasts, but I can't find it now :-/ ). For example, the following are all the same forecast for Aberdeen - presumably from the same weather station, given the web pages all have the same "Nearest weather observation station" coordinates - and the feeds only differ in the partial postcode and slightly different lat/long given: http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/rss/5day/world/0014.xml http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/rss/5day/id/1013.xml http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/rss/5day/id/1012.xml http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/rss/5day/id/1011.xml http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/rss/5day/id/1010.xml http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/rss/5day/id/1009.xml http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/rss/5day/id/1008.xml http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/rss/5day/id/1007.xml http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/rss/5day/id/1006.xml http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/rss/5day/id/1004.xml http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/rss/5day/id/1002.xml http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/rss/5day/id/1001.xml http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/rss/5day/id/1000.xml I've noddily plotted these on a Google Map: http://www.dracos.co.uk/play/bbc-weather-map/ from which I work out that the world feed's location (the one in yellow) is presumably the location of the weather station, not Aberdeen. :-) Searching for a Aberdeen postcode gives one of the above feeds (though see below), searching for Aberdeen gives id/1000, whereas going through the UK map - http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/ukweather/sscotland/ - gives world/0014. Is there a reason that the postcode searches don't just map to a single feed for Aberdeen, e.g. the world one? I guess the current answer for a hypothetical backstage developer is just to use the world feed, but then it's hard to work out/get e.g. just the Scottish feeds. Secondly, still on Aberdeen, there are two locations with (currently) different forecasts with exactly the same co-ordinates: AB14 (Aberdeen/Peterculter): http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/rss/5day/id/1005.xml http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/rss/5day/id/1006.xml and AB13 (Aberdeen/Milltimber): http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/rss/5day/id/1003.xml http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/rss/5day/id/1004.xml I presume that local changes are made to the non-Aberdeen locations because of some other information, but this does make it look a bit odd. :) Anyway, glad to see the licensing issues sorted, and look forward to more in the future. -- ATB, Matthew http://www.dracos.co.uk/ - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

[backstage] Official BBC Weather feeds ahoy!
Title: Official BBC Weather feeds ahoy!
Greetings Backstagers,
I am very pleased to inform you that BBC Weather's first RSS feeds are now live. Links to them can be found on all 5 day forecast pages: http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml
The feeds are located at http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/rss/{world|id}/{location_id}.xml
E.g. http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/rss/5day/id/2315.xml and http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/rss/5day/world/4567.xml
All of the 7379 feeds are updated at least* twice a day (at approximately 8AM/PM *GMT*).
We are planning more feeds, and improvements to these ones as well (e.g. dynamic generation of feeds, which will allow us to offer different flavours such as Atom; additional content such as tide times and current observations (Met Office willing); additional semantic mark-up).
In the meantime we look forward to seeing your BBC Weather widgets in the Backstage Widgets Compo: http://backstage.bbc.co.uk/news/archives/2006/10/widgets_competi.html
I have included geo:lat/long tags in all entries to facilitate mappy mashups. Enjoy!
I look forward to hearing your comments, concerns and ideas.
Best,
Kass
