RSS Weather Feeds

The Weatherzone RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed is an XML-based format for content distribution and a great way to keep up to date with the latest weather conditions for most Australian locations.

The feed includes current weather, two-day forecast and warnings with links back to Weatherzone for more detailed information.

To view your weather feed you need to download reader or aggregator software. A number of free and commercial aggregators are available for download. Once you have downloaded a reader, follow its instructions for adding a feed. Generally this will involve clicking the RSS button (you will see the raw RSS feed in most browsers) and then copying the URL into the Reader.

You can also use the RSS feeds to display weather on your website subject to the Terms of Use below.

The simplest way to subscribe to an RSS feed is to go to the page for your chosen local weather location and click on the RSS button. From the Weatherzone home page enter a town or postcode to get your local weather page and to access your RSS feed.

Links to Weatherzone RSS feeds for capital cities follow:

RSS Adelaide
RSS Brisbane
RSS Canberra

A very wet weekend for southeast Qld, northeast NSW

11:48 AEST A prolonged rainfall event is set to bring large totals to parts of NSW and Qld from Saturday, with possible heavy falls and flooding. A low-pressure system in the Coral Sea, a deepening coastal trough and persistent easterlies will bring moisture-laden air into southeast Qld and northeast NSW will bring days of rainfall to the region. While there is not a drop of rain on the radar over southeast Qld and Northeast NSW on Friday morning, the mass of cloud associated with a low in the Coral Sea will enhance rainfall over the weekend.
