i know them, they use to provide data for this site http://www.meteo.ro/index.php, i manage to parse the mobile one, the only problem is remains that site provides weather only for romania

now the above site takes data from customweather.com

but both ask for money

An offshoot of the NOAA Site, ADDS may or may not work for international airports...

Change PHTO to the 4 letter identifier of your local airport(or closest) and change the number on the end for how many hours of data you want...

This is the only one I cold find that returns ceilings(cloud bases) It;s also a little more accurate. No relative humidity though...

I made a simple metar feed to my desktop... now I'm gonna start in on making different images for different flight meteorological conditions.(Visual/Instrument;Cloudy/sunny)

Thanks for the alternatives!

I'll also try weather.com since weatherbug just gave me the server too busy message

Is there a way to parse the data from an RSS feed?

http://rss.weatherbug.com/

Yes, pretty much all weather skins do exactly that using the WebParser.dll plugin.

I suppose what I meant to say was, has someone who knows what they're doing done that, and if not, can they?

Oh, he knew what you were asking. But nobody here does "requests" for skins. We all had to learn Rainmeter, so will you.

Fair enough. I'll guess I'll stick with tweaking the ABP skin for a while. Parsing Weatherbug's RSS feed seems a little daunting right now.

For weather alternatives I found http://www.meteogroup.com. My new weather skin is almost done but I need few things to improve it.
If You could find better maps: World (wind, temperature), Country (temperature) and World Time Map, that will help.
Please post any sugestion to add more details to my skin.
