Yahoo! Weather 5 day Forecast

Does anyone happen to know the answer to this? Its been difficult finding a definitive answer one way or the other. Thank you

this is a late response but
http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss/59911_f.xml replace the 59911 with your zipcode

Thank you very much for your response, I had given up on checking this post. That link works really well for 5 day. Would you happen to know of a 7 day forecast feed?

Thank you again, it is greatly appreciated.

What about when querying via YQL? Currently if I select * from the weather.forecast table I only get back current conditions as well as forecasts for today/tomorrow. Anyone figured out how to fetch a full 5 day forecast this way?

Thanks!

Hi Mark - try this: http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console/?q=...F59911_f.xml%27

Just replace the 59911 as mentioned above.

Ahh, I never thought of just querying the RSS table for the extended forecast feed like that... Works like a charm.

Thanks!

I don't think there is a 7 day forecast through Yahoo. There is an extended forecast form the weather channel, but i don't know a neatly packaged RSS feed. Sorry.

What about for international locations where there is no zip code? Thanks.

Does anybody have an answer for the international?<br><br><div class="quote"><div class="quotetop">QUOTE<cite>(Eddie @ 25 Mar 2010 12:12 AM)</cite></div><blockquote class="quotemain">What about for international locations where there is no zip code? Thanks.</blockquote></div>

Even if i have used the trick you have mentioned , but unfortunately wrong results , i mean i tried to get the weather forecast report for "Bhubaneswar" (OR,IN) having zipcode "751001" but it's not returning the data.

Even if i have used the trick you have mentioned , but unfortunately wrong results , i mean i tried to get the weather forecast report for "Bhubaneswar" (OR,IN) having zipcode "751001" but it's not returning the data.
i.e
http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss/751001_f.xml 

I'm having the same promblems, i could use the forecaststrss BUT how do i retrieve the Location ID (last part of the url ) to form a correct request? All i got is WOEID and Lat and Long. Im asking this because im developing a mobile app, and i don't want to waste too much bandwidth and resources. Currently im already querying the where.yahooapis to retrieve WOEID and im querying YQL to retrieve the weather based on that WOEID all of this to find out that i can only have the weather of 2 DAYS. Disappointed and awaiting for a response...I might change my APIs if nobody has ever solved this. Thanks in advance to anyone answer me

you can work around by that: use WOEID to get two-days forecast information and find the Zipcode from query.results.channel.link (like http://weather.yahoo.com/forecast/YouZiPCode_f.html) and then replace "You_ZIPCode" in url :
http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss/You_ZIPCODE_f.xml and
then you get 5-days forecasts.

Hi all,

I found yahoo weather api most helpful. I need a hourly and days weather report. I got these link http://in.weather.com/weather/hourByHour-INXX0104?cm_ven=yahoo_in&cm_cat=citypage&cm_ite=weather&cm_pla=hourly.

http://in.weather.com/weather/10day-INXX0104?cm_ven=yahoo_in&cm_cat=citypage&cm_ite=weather&cm_pla=10day

I am doubted how can we request the hourly or days weather using yahoo like http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=2502265

I found " mark" reply over here http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console/?q=select%20*%20from%20rss%20where%20url%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fxml.weather.yahoo.com%2Fforecastrss%2F59911_f.xml%27

but confused how to make the same call for weather report days and hourl

please answer this

thanks, anoop

Hi! I have used http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecast/YouZiPCode_c.xml for last year and I get 5 days forecast. But today only get today and tomorrow.

Does anyone happen to know the answer to this?

Thanks!!

Hi Juan,

We're all of a sudden seeing the same issue. Yesterday a client's test site was displaying a 5-day forecast. We launched yesterday afternoon and today we're only getting the 2-day forecast. If you discover what it is please post here, we'll do the same!

If you try to access: http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss/SFXX0044_c.xml, will discover that only returns the forecast today and tomorrow. I think they limited to free access.

I've done some hunting and this is the only location I've been able to find where someone can confirm the behavior we're seeing. Does anyone know where we could go for official word from Yahoo Dev that they've cut back on the number of available days in the forecast? Does Yahoo officially reply on these forums?

I've done some hunting around too since this crashed a widget on our site. I think it could be something to do with what this guy says on this post: http://soup.metwit.com/post/47181933854/an-alternative-to-yahoo-weather-api

I also found some talk of yahoo changing what they're actually giving away in their free API and that there might be a paid for version coming out.

If I find out any more I'll post it on here! Please do the same if you find anything

Thanks A,

As a solution to this, we're having a closer look at Weather Underground: http://www.wunderground.com/weather/api/d/docs. They have an API that has a free plan, alongside a WordPress plugin that handles caching to keep the requests down. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread to see if anyone has a solution to get Yahoo back to delivering 5-day forecasts before we drop too many hours to fixing our client's site, but I'm not holding my breath.

Thanks to everyone that's posted!

I also want to know!!

I have submitted a bug report to yahoo, but like you Mike, I'm not holding my breath. The API provided for free by http://developer.worldweatheronline.com/getting_started seems to be quite good. We were parsing the xml that was created by yahoo and it appears as if the feed from them could work with a bit of tweaking on the code of our site. I haven't done much work on it yet but it may just work for what we need.

I am seeing the same issue here. I was able to get 5 days forecast last Sunday, but not today. I am hoping to get official word from Yahoo dev as well.

this is a late response but
<http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss/59911_f.xml> replace the 59911 with your zipcode

Its is not giving 5 days forecast it give forecast for just today and tomorrow. Please help me how to get forecast > 5 days.

Thanks in advance.

We are looking into why this has changed. I'll let you know something as soon as we find out why the change has happened.

Robyn

Confirmed for me as well. No more 5-day Yahoo? Man... That would suck.

somebody please help me fix this bug.
