I'm knocking up a weather meter for Australia (global weather services are usually way-off for some reason) using the Australin BOM: http://www.bom.gov.au

RSS feed of the bom.gov.au data is available here http://users.on.net/~johnson/weather/

Are there any good guides on how to use this data in a weather skin?
