Simple Weather Forecast Service XMPP Bot

May 8 - 2009

I did a "Simple Weather Bot" that can tell you the weather forecast of the location you want.

For example if I want to know the current weather and the forecast for Paris, France, I would send XMPP Message with payload "Paris, France" to weather@xmpp.lobstermonster.org. Reply would be something similar to:

Conditions for Paris, FR at 1:30 am CEST:
	
Fair, temperature: 15 C
Wind speed: '11.27 kph', direction: '280'
Humidity: '94', visibility: '9.99 km'
Sunrise: '6:20 am', sunset: '9:15 pm'
And the most important, the forecast:

8 May 2009: Partly Cloudy, low 8 C, high 22C
9 May 2009: Partly Cloudy, low 9 C, high 21
	

If you will try this with gTalk, you need to add weather@xmpp.lobstermonster.org to your contact list first.

Update! 2009-05-8
Due a request I had, it's now possible to receive the forecast in Fahrenheit and miles too. For results in Fahrenheit and miles, use extension " in f" in your query.

For example if one would like to know the weather in New York in Fahrenheit, one would send a message "New York, NY in f".

In any questions or problems, don't hesitate to contact me.
