GPS coordinates to weather information with Arduino

Development Boards Arduino
1

Hi everybody,

I am doing a project on Arduino in which I am planning to use GPS to get the coordinates. I am using GPSTiny library to get the coordinates… I want to feed those coordinates in some kind of webservers or something from which I can get the real time weather information of that place. Connecting to internet is not a problem, that i am doing with wifi connection. Can anyone help me or suggest a webserver(preferably free) in which I can feed the data and get the weather information…

Regards,

Akshay

For location, most weather data sites use a NOAA/NWS coding “weather observer station ID” rather than lat/lon. Station ID is an ID much like a broadcast station ID, depicting what station and thus its location is in a database. So you request data by giving the station ID. Here’s a web site to get station ID for a city name or zip code

http://forecast.weather.gov/stations.php?foo=0

see this, too http://www.weathergraphics.com/identifiers/

This web site gives you weather using lat/lon in the HTTP get reqest

http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.ph … u2Sn7TW8uE

forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=39.737567&lon=-104.98471790000002&site=all&smap=1&searchresult=Denver%2C%20CO%2C%20USA#.Uu2Sn7TW8uE

Lots and lots of variations on the web. Some sites return XML, some return formattex text.

So happy hunting
