Live Weather

Following on from a discussion in another thread I have knocked together a PHP script that will tell you the weather from over 3000 airports.

Each airport updates the weather by the looks of things at least every hour making it very accurate. I reports winds clouds and loads loads more. It also tells you what you current barometer settings should be.

It currently does not look pretty but it does the job. I just knocked it together quickly.

You can find it at http://www.athosts.co.uk/weather/

Any problems or ideas, please let me know.

Thanks for the kind words all.

If you look up the weather of a particular airport often then you can use it using a GET request.

In other words, I use EGGP all of the time so you can just paste the URL

http://www.athosts.co.uk/weather/getweather.php?station=EGGP

Into your browser. You would change EGGP to the ICAO of your airport. You can then add it to your favourites.
