Weather Forcast in SSRS report
Is there any way to show weather forecast in SSRS report? I know NDFD has a service for free to get weather information but the output is in XML. I am looking for a solution like "Google Static Map API" which allows us to embed a map image in SSRS report. I am looking forward to embed 5 day weather forcast in SSRS report.

Hi Meetp, Thanks for your question. Based on your description, I understand that you would like to display the weather forecast map in SSRS report, and wish that the map in image format, right? If I misunderstant your question, please let me know. Actually, there is no one control to show the weather directly in SSRS, since the NDFD can supply free weather information in XML format, so I would give you a workaround. Firstly, you should add several images to the report, the images stand for different weathers. Secondly, as we know, the SSRS allows data source type to XML, thus you can get the weather information from NDFD, then having a judgement on the obtained informations, the purpose of this practice is: for different weather information, we selected different images. Hope it helps you, if your issue still exists, please feel free to let me know. Thanks, Sharp Wang Best Regards. Sharp Wang
