this is a cool site! Although it may not do you any good if you are outside N. America, this might come in handy in the programming contest that WeatherBug is doing, which you can enter with a Phrogram program.

This advanced add-in library uses weather data in your Phrogram program, built on WeatherBug's API. It comes with a sample program that shows the many types of information about weather that your program will be able to use. It is tested as current and stable, and it is available for free! To install, simply drag and drop the three files ...

I have just come across this site link below were you can download a file that list all the longitudes and latitudes for ZIP codes. I wish I had come across this site earlier as I could have written the program I wanted to for the contest. http://www.populardata.com/downloads.html

This is my entry for the April contest. The program gets weather data from 1 or more stations and displays the result in GUI form with up to 8 at once. I enclose 3 sample txt files with Zip locations for it to display. You can easily edit your own files using WordPad. For more see ReadMe.txt file. The program can cope with metric data but I have ...

I like these weather vane programs. But I hate to say this is that neither version has the direction arrow pointing in the right direction. With winds the direction is were the wind is blowing from  so Walt’s modification has the arrow 180 deg out. This is an easy mistake to make as common sense would say direction is were it is going ...

After some trial and tribulations I managed to get it working. One problem I came across is the temperature I had first notice I had a temperature of -102 deg F (ZIP 01701) clearly impossible but temperatures at other zip codes could also be ridiculous, so I started comparing them with WeatherBug’s own web site they never agreed and were out ...

More information on the access issue: The request for WeatherBug data goes out and comes back on Port 80, this is the regular browser data port that you use to browse the web with your browser. When you enter a zip code the WeatherBug server finds the nearest actual weather station location and tries to get data from it if that station is not ...

OK, I think I know what you need to do in your programs set the Timeout to a much higher value than 30000 say (60000) instead right at the top of your method main, 30000 this is the default value and probably isn't long enough if you have a firewall to get through. Let me know if this helps  Have fun

Description:This program gets data from the nearest weather station, and uses wind speed and direction data to construct a vector of the wind. It is of course only as accurate as the data it collects.  The length is calculated by the wind speed times 20.I wanted the program to save the zip code, so that every time the program is run, the ...
