[help] International Weather Not On Weather.com

Hy,

I'm trying to figure out a way to show the weather for my town, but it doesn't show up on Weather.com.

I found it on WeatherUnderground.com, but i didn't find any XML or RSS feed version. Here's what i've found : http://www.weatherunderground.com/auto/con...ions/15145.html.

Is there any way to extract the needed info from that page to feed it to SysStats weather or some other docklet ?

Topic Title Edited.

This is a cry for [help].

ok i was puzzled on tryiing to find the code for my city, all you do is search for your country and city and in the city URL there should be a code like this one ASXX0112 at the end of the url.

so if you live in sydney (like me) search for Sydney,Australia then once your on the page for sydney in the URL bar you should see the code.

sorry if i dont make much sense, its 2:30am and im tired :)

Hy.

I know how to search for a city in Weather.com, but my city isn't listed here (altough it's listed on most other weather sites like for example WeatherUnderground).

My main problem is that the closest city (that i was able to find on Weather.com) is about 100km away, which means the weather is not exactly the same. For example it can be raining there, while the rain will get here only after 1-2 hours (if it ever gets here).

Anyway, for now i use the data from 3 cities in a 150km radius, that gives me the "relative" weather :D

I'm even thinking of making a plugin for SysStats plugin that can read the data from the HTML file from WeatherUnderground (only problem i don't have time now since i still have 2 exams in the following 1.5 weeks)

Anyway, thanx for the reply.

ok dude, i think you misunderstood what xfodder tried to tell you. i know you know how to search for cities in weather.com, but what he meant was, go to www.weather.com search for your city as you normally do, then, when the resulting city page opens, look at your ADDRESS (url) bar and look for the portion before the ?

before the ? there should be some kind of code, like xfodder mentions for his town ASXX0112 or something to that extent. But remember it's all in the url bar.

hope this helps. and the city has sex with itself i suppose :blink:
