I was wondering if there is a way to find the weather of specific town/city using Java. I have heard of Google Weather API but that has not yielded any results. I also have heard about using an .xml feed for finding the weather but where can I find that? Therefore, I have two questions, Is there a way to find the weather to find using Java and am I correct about the .xml?

The Google Weather API appears to be no more:

But you can use others such as

Once you have your XML (or JSON) you can parse it as described here:
