Retrieving Weather Information.

[intel]

Hi everyone,

I tried searching for my enquiry but the results didnt seem to be accurate enough for me.

What I am trying to look at doing is retrieving the current tempreture from a website, say BBC weather, in LabVIEW. Even if I could just get information for one set place it would be enough, as I could work on multiple locations later if I had time.

Any tips or simple examples would be greatly appreciated.

Try this: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/861  I did it a couple of years ago, and it worked great.

I tried to run that example, it changed the title to Texas but no data came up :S

Basically I am trying to get the current weather from Heathrow Airport, London. I just need some basic info, any easy tips?

Hello Intel,

If you click on this link you'll be taken to a Developer Zone article which will cover everything you will need to get going using s XML web service to achieve what you want in LabVIEW. Weather services are available from www.xmethods.net 🙂
