Find Weather Libraries in Ruby and Rails
Find weather conditions in your Ruby script or application
Yahoo! Weather API
yahoo-weather provides an object-oriented interface to the Yahoo! Weather XML RSS feed detailed at developer.yahoo.com/weather.
People care a lot about the weather, which sometimes seems ironic given that they can just glance out the window, but we can all understand the fascination with details and forecasting.
Log the weather information to your database! Graph it to your heart’s content! Write a widget that emails the weather to your cell phone every five minutes with a link to your friend’s PayPal account to deposit money if the weather’s sunny and you both bet that it would be rainy. And the fun doesn’t have to stop there.
RubyWeather
RubyWeather is a library for interacting with weather.com’s xoap service using the Ruby language. The library allows for fetching current weather conditions and forecasts for just about anywhere in the world using intuitive Ruby code.
Full documentation is available at http://rubyweather.rubyforge.org/
WeatherMan
WeatherMan implements most of the weather.com XML API. It it based in part on RWeather but adds some functionality and is structured slightly differently. With it you can search for locations, get current conditions and forecasts for a location, and access the promotional links that weather.com asks you to display when using the API.
RWeather
rweather is ruby gem to access Weather Channel (weather.com) XML API.
This gems lets you access to the search and get current conditions features. Forecast it’s not implemented yet.
Currently it has two main features: searching for locations, and then retrieving the current weather for locations of your choice. It’s a nice, simple library.
