Surprising as it may come, you should look for something like "satellite images" on Google - you'll find zillions of links to top-level weather info providers. Then you should check which are free, copy their names and search for "free web weather service <name>" - you'll probably end up with a solid list of free services - you see, the ones that are free for you must rely on some free service above, so there.

Hi People, I have been looking around the web lately and have noted a number of sites are running what appears to be php scripts that parse their local weather information and display it on their wesite. Well, I want to do the same, however I have been searching and found nothing that does what I want it to do. The only ones that I can find are either the output style of weather.com (ie all or nothing) or use their own graphics etc to display the data. All I want to be able to do is give the current conditions (ie partly cloudy) and the current temperature. I haven't decided if I then want to use this info to create an image or if I will display it as straight text. I was wondering if anyone on this list has ever used such a script and if their outputs were similar to what I want, and of course possibly if I could source that script for my own use? Any help would be appreciated. Regards, Shannon
