not sure, but you can browse the available RSS feeds
here...
will require that you spend some time creating a parser... probably a 5 minute job... if that..

Dude...Im looking for the exact same thing...have had little luck. Most websites wanna charge you per user....theres like 600 employees in our company...its just meant to be a ice little thing for them...but would ahve to pay per person...just not worth it.
Please help anyone...if you know of a RSS feed for local weather (XML/Plain text), please let us know!
PS: Sorry for the hi-jack!!

Thx for the replies...
I tried stealing some code from weathersa.co.za. Needless to say, it didn't work. The weather's displayed in a table and looks like it's put in manually (which I doubt)
Oh well, it's not the end of the world. They don't have it now. And no one's thought of it until now... So they can't castrate me if I can't get them the weather...

I wrote something like that a month or so back. Tried to build a dynamic flash site that depends on the weather for its look.
I can supply you with the widget if you want.

Speaking of which it was really lovely weather today-nice and warm considering the weekends miserable rain (which I camped in with zero water proof clothing
)
