Hi team,

I'm wanting to return current weather conditions to a page on my app, starting simple such as the current temperature.

I have found the free MSN Weather connector, however this appears to require manual entry of a location to return weather details. I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas how I would be able to use the inbuilt location functions of PowerApps to have the MSN weather connector return the temperature at the location of where the user device is?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Marty_Dub ,

I can give you what a use for the weather today and tomorrow at a location - first set a Variable (after connecting MSN Weather

UpdateContext( { varWeatherToday: MSNWeather.TodaysForecast( Location.Latitude & "," & Location.Longitude, "Metric" ).responses, varWeatherTomorrow: MSNWeather.TomorrowsForecast( Location.Latitude & "," & Location.Longitude, "Metric" ).responses, varWeather:true } )

then a HTML box

"<h3>Today</h3> Location: " & varWeatherToday.source.location & " Forecast: " & varWeatherToday.daily.day.summary & " Temperature (Day):    Low: " & varWeatherToday.daily.tempLo & "   High: " & varWeatherToday.daily.tempHi & " UV Index:  " & varWeatherToday.daily.uv & " (" & varWeatherToday.daily.uvDesc & ") Wind:  " & varWeatherToday.daily.day.windSpd & " kph (max " & varWeatherToday.daily.windMax & ") from " & varWeatherToday.daily.day.windDir & " Degrees Conditions:  " & varWeatherToday.daily.day.cap & " <h3>Tomorrow</h3> Forecast: " & varWeatherTomorrow.daily.day.summary & " Temperature (Day):  Low: " & varWeatherTomorrow.daily.tempLo & "   High: " & varWeatherTomorrow.daily.tempHi & " UV Index:  " & varWeatherTomorrow.daily.uv & " (" & varWeatherTomorrow.daily.uvDesc & ") Wind:  " & varWeatherTomorrow.daily.day.windSpd & " kph (max " & varWeatherTomorrow.daily.windMax & ") from " & varWeatherTomorrow.daily.day.windDir & " Degrees Conditions:  " & varWeatherTomorrow.daily.day.cap & ""
