I am browsing through a bunch of weather-forecast APIs and none of them seem to do something which I think is pretty necessary.

Is there a way for me to just send an address, or lat/lng coordinates, and the date for the forecast I want (in the future)?

Thank you, Alex

ps - if it matters, I use PHP.

It looks like the Yahoo weather API will do this, but you have to geocode the location to their WOEID first. You can't specify date, but it appears to return a list of forecasts for upcoming dates.

  • I looked into their API, and I don't think you can encode into their WOEID on the fly - can you? My site's content is user generated, so it must all be dynamically calculated. – Genadinik Feb 23 '11 at 23:31
