Unity: Real life Weather / Website information

Questions & Answers
1

I need help getting my standalone application to detect what the weather is. I thought of 2 theory’s which i could do, but i don’t know how to do it.

  1. Is there a Weather.Now function? Just like TheTime.Now.Day; but for weather?

  2. If there isn’t a .Now statement for weather is there a way which i could use WWW to gather a string of information from a website e.g. I use the website Google but i want to get the temperature information from it, is that possible?

Thanks

Yes, you can use something like that:

or any other weather data provider…

then use Unity - Scripting API: WWW to get the data and parse it, so you can use it.
