Looking into using one of those “api”.\u00a0 \u00a0However, the NOAA provides – well, free data in XML format.<\/p>\n

Some important notes<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. datatype – this is a jquary attribute.<\/li>\n
  2. set you time out – other wise you will get a “Timeout violation”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Code to get the data<\/h3>\n

    var weather = “” \/\/ global var<\/p>\n

    $.ajax({url: “https:\/\/w1.weather.gov\/xml\/current_obs\/KDCA.xml”, timeout: 1000, datatype:”xml”, success: function(result){
    \nweather = result;
    \nappend_txt( weather );<\/p>\n

    }});<\/p>\n

    Code to display the data<\/h3>\n
    \n
    var temp = $(weather).find(‘temp_f’).text();<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0var location = $(weather).find(‘location’).text();<\/div>\n
