Locating Suitable Data Sources
The process of finding the desirable data sources, can be a challenge. I already know which of the 5 day forecast sources I want to use.
Maybe I’ll add this one too, just to so I’m reminded of what I’m missing in CA:
Next is a page that contains the CURRENT and HIGH / LOW temps. In the past I have located some text based data files on the NOAA.GOV website. I’ll have to dig up my notes one this. From time to time NOAA moves those files and changes the format, so those notes might not end up being that helpful. It is somewhere to start.
This page here, has a pile of nice detailed information (see compressed screen shot) but does not contain everything I’m looking for:
XML DATA!. XML is something I know more about, than I really care too, but it is a portable, easily parsable and text data format. I’ve not yet investigated the contents here, but it does look promising!
