Hi All,
I have a requirement where I need to fetch location of the client and according to that I need to display weather information.
Can I do this? If yes then kindly let me know.

You can't do it with 100 % accuracy, because a client can be hosted from a server on the other side of the World.
One way is to use one of the "find my IP address" sites, and then find the right location information in the returned source code - another way is to map the clients IP-adr. to a home made database of each IP-adr. groups for the all Countries/Continents of the World.

We can't get the actual location of the client with IP address, He/She may be in local address with NAT.
