[PD] worldwide weather forecast into PD

[altern]

hi hans

thanks for the link, i checked it briefly yesterday, not sure if i will 
be able to find the part of code i need, it seems a bit too bit and it 
is C, probably easier to do it myself in python.

The weather.com city codes look like the same as weather.yahoo.com it 
seems to me that they both access the same system to get the data. thats 
interesting, i found already several weather forecast systems that are 
actually the same in the background.
