integrate / build 'weather radar' widget
Question
I'm looking to integrate a 'weather radar' widget into a site I'm building.
The only available resource I can find is: http://www.meteoonline.co.uk/gadgets/Europe/Netherlands/135
- which basically delivers a flash mov in a iframe ! urrrgh! - and 'permission denied' of course with any javascript interaction on the iframe..
Can anyone suggest an alternative resource / or approach ?
I'm happy to work with the raw data if I can get it .. any ideas welcome !
site is like >[ html5 + jquery on django ]
Solution 2
-> Find an RSS feed of radar images for your target area
this one works for me : http://rss.buienradar.nl/radar.php
OTHER TIPS
My suggestion would be to check Programmable Web to see what APIs are available for weather data. A quick scan shows they had a blog post about 5 weather APIs last year and filtering by 'weather' category I see 10 available now. I don't know if any of them have a radar but it would be a good place to start.
