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 Brisbane
RSS Canberra

Weatherzone also provides an RSS feed for weather news:
