To expand on this point for international use:
http://weather.yahoo.com/

(1) Enter your city name
(2) Have a look into the URL and copy the code
(3) Paste the code into http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=CODE&u=c
(4) To get Fahrenheit change the c with f

Example:
This URL you will get, when searching for Adelaide, Australia: http://weather.yahoo.com/forecast/ASXX0001.html
Copy the code and paste it into (3): http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=ASXX0001&u=c
To change the unit to Fahrenheit: http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=ASXX0001&u=f

These are, by the way, identical to the old Weather.com XOAP codes. So if you still have those old skins lying around somewhere, you can crib your own codes.

Hi

Sorry i'm sure this is really dum, but I can not figure out my weather code

http://weather.yahoo.com/new-zealand/canterbury/christchurch-2348327/

City = Christchurch
Region = Canterbury
Country = New Zealand

If anyone could help me with this simple task, then that would be grand.

Cheers
