Environment Canada text forecast grabber

[Chris Alemany]

Hello all,

If, like me, you are a Canadian wishing Environment Canada had more ways to get their forecasts into your webpage, I may have something for you.
For a few years now I have been using a script to grab and parse the extended text forecast RSS feed from Environment Canada. It just produces an HTML file that you can then embed or include in an html document, webpage or blog.

I’ve cleaned it up a little (not much! :)) and made it available here:

I am no expert project manager, so I apologize in advance if it’s a little janky. But it works for me and hopefully it’ll work for you too.

Cheers
Chris

Hello again,

I've made a number of updates to the scripts over the past few days.  Note that it does not support French language place names or forecast at this time. Hopefully soon.

Cheers

Chris
