Does anyone know if there is a weather program that uses the WMO Index Number as opposed to the ICAO Location Indicator used by the KDE and Gmome appletts?
Let me see... there is: NAME WMWEATHER - Dockable Weather Monitor DESCRIPTION wmWeather monitors local weather conditions (temperature, Dew Point, Pressure, Humidity and Wind direction and speed). The user needs to specify a 4-character `METAR station identifier code'. (The standardized METAR station designations and current weather reports are designed for use by the aviation community. Since most major cities have at least one airport, there is usually one or more METAR stations in a given city.) You (obviously) need to be connected to the internet and you also need to have wget installed (most linux systems should have it already). wmWeather will then attempt to download the latest METAR report for the station of your choice (from the National Weather Sevice run by NOAA). NAME GrabWeather - retrieve weather conditions from the National Weather Service DESCRIPTION This Perl-script retrieves the current local weather con ditions from the national Weather Service (NWS), converts the data into a text-format and stores the result in a plain text file. GrabWeather requires the 4-character METAR station code as the first and only command-line option. NAME bbweather - display the current weather conditions DESCRIPTION bbweather is a tool which displays the current weather conditions in an decorated window, simulating the look of the Blackbox toolbar (Blackbox is a Windowmanager for X11). This tool is heavily based on bbdate by John Kennis, almost 90% of the code (rough guess ;) were taken over unaltered. Furthermore, bbweather was inspired by wmWeather by Michael G. Henderson, from where "Grab Weather", the perl-script that fetches the weather-condi tions from your local station originates. I don't know if this helps :-? -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
