Hello all:
After updating to the latest git version of Org-mode, google weather
entries are not showing up in the Agenda buffer any more. Does any one
else have the same problem?
Thanks.
Charles

Yup - I got an error on startup and turned it off. When I turned it back
on and tried again (possibly after another org update), I got no error
but no results either. Haven't investigated further.

When I go to
http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=Boston&hl=en-GB
Google slaps me and says:
,----

it also says

So google-weather's days are numbered (420 days or so) even if the
first problem gets resolved.

Thanks for the confirmation. I know that the weather info is download
and cached judging by the timestamps of the files. They are just not
showing in the Agenda buffer.
Cheers,

You are right, I just looked at the cached files and that is what I
see. :-(

It might be near time to investigate wunderground.com and loose google for
weather before igoogle disappears. Other weather sites capable of text
output may also be available, I haven't investigated that yet.

Yup, I believe google gets its weather data from wunderground.com. But
I don't know if they make their data available for free. Presumably google
pays them some money for the use.

For those in the US, the National Weather Service has forecasts
available in XML, which could be parsed, requestable via latitude and
longitude. I haven't done anything with that other than noting its
existence. URL seems to be
http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=xx.xxxx&lon=yy.yyyy&FcastType=dwml

I think for individuals wunderground.com is free, but for organizations
it's a paid arrangement. On Fri, 31 Aug 2012, Nick Dokos wrote:

wunderground.com wants a developer ID and in some situations wants a
paid account.
For US locations, take a look at the NOAA/NWS services.
http://graphical.weather.gov/xml/rest.php is a similar service, freely
available to the public. Parseing the NDFD response will take a while
to understand, but it's a simple schema and will be a tiny computational
burden. That page has links to all the relevant documents.
I don't have time to go through all that, but a quick look indicates
that it has all the information that Google was providing. There will
just be more work involved in organizing it into a tidy little line of
text.

Followup:
For world-wide sites, there is http://api.yr.no/weatherapi/documentation
This does not specify limits to geographic coverage and detail, but the
models listed as source include the ECMWF EC.GEO.0.25 which is global.
Forecasts for Norway and surrounding areas use a more accurate local
model.

There is also Yahoo, which uses The Weather Channel. Their official
interface is documented at http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/ This
returns a three day forecast. However, there is an undocumented
interface that returns a five day forecast. See
http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss/UKXX0718_c.xml for an example
forecast.
I have a python script that uses the undocumented interface, which I'll
put on Github when I have tidied it up a bit. It doesn't look too hard
to adapt the current googleweather.el script to use Yahoo.

I have pushed my python script to
https://github.com/geekinthesticks/python-yahoo-weather
This shows how to retrieve the five day forecast from Yahoo, with an
example XML page of the results returned by Yahoo. As an added benefit
Yahoo also returns the lat, long, sunrise and sunset data. For people in
the UK, there is a complete list of all location codes for towns and cities.
I have also included a copy of Julien Danjou's original library for
Google in the repo. As a first step I renamed all occurrences of Google
to Yahoo. Other than that it doesn't do anything useful yet.
Since my elisp skills are very limited, if anyone else wants to hack on
this too, I would be more than happy to merge your changes.
Ian.
