RSS feed for Thames Tides

Posted on
  • Random question of the day, been googling everywhere but cant find anything, any of you guys know where I can get and RSS XML feed with London High/Low Tide times.

    ta

  • I'm not sure it's going to be something you'll find as it doesn't make a great deal of sense. You publish things that change via RSS, but tidal patterns aren't going to change as the moon's orbit is pretty much set. Things like that you calculate rather than publish/consume.

    You may be lucky and find something. But why not just calculate it?

  • Or just buy a tide table from a newsagent or a fishing tackle shop...

  • Port of London have published tide tables to the end of 2008

  • This is the best programmatic source:
    http://www.mortlake.net/tides/tides.html

    You can get an Excel spreadsheet from that site.

    Only up until end of 2008 though. You'll have to calculate beyond that.

    That link doesn't work.

  • i know, i deleted the post cos adoubletap beat me to it.

  • thanks guys, need rss specifically though for a project my fella is doing, looks like he's going to scrape the bbc tide page and convert it into xml now. ta anyway.

    that mortlake site is a beauty though, will use that instead!
