Weather.com requires that you sign up with them to use this service. Once you sign up at: http://www.weather.com/services/xmloap.html , you will get an SDK that explains the XML data format that they use and the HTTP GET query string/URI that they use.

ww.Weather.com is also providing us with observation and forecast data for nearly 50,000 cities worldwide; that's what you see in the "Conditions and Forecasts" layer. You can zoom around to see the current conditions and forecasts for just about every major city in the world, among other cities.

Weather.com, the web site for The Weather Channel, has experienced outages and sluggish performance this evening amid heavy traffic from web surfers seeking the latest information on Tropical Storm Ernesto. Ernesto is approaching the Florida coast and is expected to make landfall late Tuesday or early Wednesday as a strong tropical storm.

Observations on ww.weather.com Weather.com was showing Marina del Rey at 59 degrees and mostly cloudy. It looked like it was going to rain. It is another important website but you may use it a lot. You can just type in your city, state, and zip code and boom in one second you can get your weather for the day, week or month (month is usually more accurate).

ww.Weather.com has quick icons for the coming week, text descriptions, a local map, color enhanced infrared maps, interactive maps, you can switch to Celsius, and also pull up a very informative hourly weather graphic of the next two days. There's lots of other useful weather data and text only data good for mobile access.

Weather is something, like traffic, that resonates at the local level. Weather is one of the things I like to talk about, but when I think of the weather, I think of the sky and the million things that are up there -stars, asteroids, clouds, birds, airplanes... The list goes on and on. I really love sunrises just as much as sunsets.

I never got the SDK to download. What up with that? I am trying to embed the feed into Sharepoint.
