Weather service not working anymore?

Another option is to use forecast from http://yr.no
You have to replace URL with the one that corresponds to your location.

Code:

require('socket.http') forecast = {} function parsetag(parser, tag, attributes)  if tag == 'time' then    table.insert(forecast, {})  elseif tag == 'symbol' then    forecast[ #forecast ].symbol = attributes.name  elseif tag == 'precipitation' then    forecast[ #forecast ].precipitation = attributes.value  elseif tag == 'windDirection' then    forecast[ #forecast ].wind_direction = attributes.code  elseif tag == 'windSpeed' then    forecast[ #forecast ].wind_speed = attributes.mps  elseif tag == 'temperature' then    forecast[ #forecast ].temperature = attributes.value  elseif tag == 'pressure' then    forecast[ #forecast ].pressure = attributes.value  end end url = 'http://www.yr.no/place/United_Kingdom/England/London/varsel.xml' data, err = socket.http.request(url) if data then  require('lxp').new({    StartElement = parsetag  }):parse(data)  log(forecast) else  alert('Fetch failed: ' .. tostring(err)) end

Just made a test of this to get the temperature sent on the bus. It works OK as far as I can see.

But is there a way to ask for the weather for a certain time in the future? I guess there is, but can't really see it... I would like to know what the temperature will be in one hour's time to be able to lower the blinds before the sun starts heating the room.
