This article describes how to add a real-time weather event source in Fabric Real-Time hub.
The real-time weather connector allows you to ingest live weather data from a selected location into Eventstream. It provides real-time weather conditions such as precipitation, temperature, and wind for a specified set of coordinates. This data is updated every minute to ensure timely insights.
Weather data is powered by the Azure Maps Weather service. The cost of using Azure Maps is included in the connector's capacity consumption, so there's no need to set up a separate Azure Maps account or service within your Azure subscription. To learn more about Azure Maps, refer to What is Azure Maps?.
Prerequisites
- A workspace with Fabric capacity or Trial license mode.
- Access to the workspace with Contributor or higher workspace roles.
- If you don't have an eventstream, follow the guide to create an eventstream.
In addition, the following tenant switches must be enabled from the Admin portal:
- Users can use Azure Maps services
- Users can use Azure Maps Weather Services. By enabling this setting, you consent to share your selected location with Azure Maps and AccuWeather to retrieve real-time weather information.
