I'm playing around with openweathermap api to print out the forecast onto screen using the api supplied.
What I am trying to do is get the forecast for at given hour in the future or past, I can see this information in the results from the api call. I'm not sure how to get this information tho? It looks to be in unix timestamp and human readable formats but I can see how in the api just to print out this forecast for a given time?
Thanks
Example API code
http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?lat=51.5072&lon=0.1275&units=metric
Example forecast "dt_txt":"2013-09-14 00:00:00"},{"dt":1379127600,
Example web page
<html>
<head>
<title>Weather</title>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.min.js" ></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.7.0/jquery-ui.js" ></script>
<script>
function getWeather(callback) {
var weather = 'http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?lat=51.5072&lon=0.1275&units=metric';
$.ajax({
dataType: "jsonp",
url: weather,
success: callback
});
}
// get data:
getWeather(function (data) {
console.log('weather data received');
console.log(data.list[0].weather[0].description);
console.log(data.list[0].weather[0].main);
});
getWeather(function (data) {
document.write('weather data received');
document.write('<br>');
document.write(data.list[0].weather[0].description);
document.write('<br>');
document.write(data.list[0].weather[0].main);
document.write('<br>');
document.write(data.list[0].main.temp);
document.write('<br>');
});
</script>
</body>

i suggest you try using moment.js, a jquery plugin for any thing that has to do with time.
that is for formatting the dt in openWeatherAPI
Thanks
