About WxAdvisory
WxAdvisory is a weather data framework which can take weather data from a variety of sources, apply customised formulas and transformations, and then supply it to users via a friendly user interface, or integrated directly into your website.
Users can be individuals who want to know about a specific time and place, or businesses who want to advise their customers of weather events or to gather intelligence for business operations.
WxAdvisory can provide weather data directly into existing communication channels, such as Twitter, Facebook, email and SMS.
If you're a business, you can provide weather notifications to your users with minimal impact on their daily activities.
How to use this service
WxAdvisory provides readable, detailed and accurate weather forecasts for anywhere in the world, through an innovative question-based interface.
7-day forecasts with detailed hourly descriptions are available for any location in the world. Locations can include cities, towns, landmarks and even specific street addresses.
More information about locations in the FAQ
Your current location is automatically detected. By using the search box at the bottom of the page, you can get a forecast for anywhere in the world.
Touch (or click) the day summary to get a detailed hourly description for that day.
Ask it a question
You can ask a direct question about whatever particular weather event you have in mind. Instead of typing in a location, try asking if it will rain tomorrow, or how hot it will be at 3pm?
