Google weather api is dead... long live wunderground.com

Recently google retired their free weather api... it was never officially supported, and was always a private API, but nonetheless many, many applications came to rely on it, and were rudely broken last month when the api stopped working.

Anyway, this also broke http://sydneyinlinehockey.com, so after some research I settled on wunderground which has a pretty good replacent which is free for up to 500 requests a day. You have to apply for an api key to call it and the response can come back as xml or json. I prefer json as it is so easy to parse python.

It is this easy to call... what are you waiting for? Fix your apps with broken weather now!
