This is a complete sidetrack from all current projects, and I won’t have time to look at it for weeks, if not months, but…

Does anyone know of a service from which I could fetch weather predictions for an arbitrary area (specified by country and city, preferably) for the following day or week in XML or any other kind of web service? In particular, I’d be looking for predicted temperatures and precipitation types.

How about weatherunderground (http://www.wunderground.com/)? They do RSS feeds, as I already have a feed of the Dublin current and expected weather (http://syndicated.livejournal.com/wundergrounddub/) on my friends list.

I have a bookmark to the Uk Met office for satellite pictures, and they seem to do a weather feed service at http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/newmedia/datafeed/catalogue.html
but unfortunately it seems you have to pay for it! And its not cheap ...

I don't know, but [livejournal.com profile] thesme_01 is a weather geek and might be worth asking.
