We're all looking for a good weather feed or resource to customize Weather Monitor, and so I thought I'd start a thread with useful stuff in it. It's a bit of a "brain dump", but hopefully you'll find it useful!

Here's a few sites to kick things off:
PoleToPole is an excellent site. I'm testing a skin for this service, and if there's enough interest, I'll release it!

Also, in an effort to set up a general reference for good weather site info, here's a link to Wundergrounds custom feed information that gives a good insight into how us skinners can scrape their HTML or XML here.
Or try the Weather.com XML feed here

Decent information sites include (With a UK bias. Sorry!):
http://www.hamweather.net/cgi-bin/hw3/hw3.cgi
http://www.metcheck.com/
http://www.weatherroom.com/spc/international.html
http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/

For lunar data, try:
http://skyandtelescope.com/observing/almanac/
http://www.heavens-above.com/

For graphics, try these (Warning: Graphics intensive!):
http://weather.kivlin.net/grabicons.html
http://icons.wunderground.com/graphics/conds/
http://www.jdawiseman.com/papers/trivia/...icons.html

How should x monitor/gauge look? Try here for inspiration.

For small fonts you may want to consider, try http://miniml.com/fonts/#freefonts

Enjoy, and if you have a useful resource, post it here!

<span style='font-size:7pt;line-height:100%'>Some links here are repeated from threads on these forums. Try a search. You'll be pleasantly surprised!</span>
Back once again...
