Free weather web service

[Lonifasiko]

Hi,

I would like to show users in my Windows Forms application weather
conditions in a concrete point based on latitude/longitude pair
values.

At the moment I have different points identified by latitude and
longitude pair values. In fact, I represent these points in a map
using Virtual Earth technology. Based on these pair values, I would
like to query a free weather web service to obtain current weather in
these concrete points? Do you know any free weather web service I can
query this way?

I would be really grateful if somebody could give me any hints on
that.

Thanks very much in advance.

The NOAA uses your and my tax dollars to provide a free weather web service.
Search around and you'll find some .NET code to use same.

Yes, I forgot to tell I need something telling me the weather in Spain
or at least, Europe. I understand NOAA is only for USA.

Thanks and regards.

Hi again,

It's not a web service, it really consumes RSS with a HttpWebRequest
object, but it's more or less what I'm looking for:

http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/

Anyway, I've noticed Yahoo Weather RSS needs a point to be specified
in the querystring (for example, http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=SPXX0029&u=c),
whereas I've got latitude and longitude.

Has somebody used Yahoo Weather RSS with latitude and longitude? Or do
you see any other possibility?

Thanks very much.
