Using a SOAP service for creating a weather app client

I am writing a weather app in java and I want to use a web service from the internet. But all I managed to find is OpenWeatherMap so I was wondering if there was some kind of a SOAP service from where I could use the .wsdl file, since I believe that approach would be easier for me.

I am looking to keep things as simple as I can, since it is not a big app. Any propositions are welcome, thanks.

I would suggest you to look at web services that expose APIs that you can query for retrieving weather information. For example https://openweathermap.org/api I am not a great fan of SOAP services, i prefer to deal with JSON. You could create a controller for interacting with these APIs, and depending on what you want to have then you create your model and then display the data. Using a Model View Controller pattern with a simple design maybe the best solution, because if for example APIs change then you should easily modify just the controller.
