weather details from other website

AlecTPR · 07-08-2004, 10:27 AM

Does anybody know how I'd be able to get a weather forcast from another website (like below)

http://www.thisislancashire.co.uk/lancashire/weather/

I don't know the legality of this. Is it stealing ?

Or is it considered a link as I'm sure that I'll have a link to the website ?

many Thanks in advance.

Hi,

There are a few resources for putting weather on your site. I took a peek at this sites page wource but couldn't tell what, if any, service they are using - they may be inputting the data by hand.

Check this site for weather magnets:

http://www.freesticky.com

Click on the "Weather" link in the left menu and go through the list.
Several of the major weather sites offer local forecast magnets - usually in the form of a bit of JavaScript you add to your site.

Or go directly to Weather.com's "Weather on your Site" page
http://www.w3.weather.com/services/oap.html

Or

Weatherunderground's sticker page:
http://www.wunderground.com/geo/Bann...ashington.html

I use them for our company's websites.

Hope this helps a little

Daf

the freesticky might be blocked by our company websence so I'll check that during the weekend.

the other two look nice but for one thing. I can only find Manchester in england as I was after being a little more specific. BUT, that's not a problem and I'll be using the "Weather on your Site" one.

Again, many thanks
