I tried to write my own weather plugin similar to the wordpress plugin Hendrik uses. I ended fixing Jeremey Zawodny's p5-Geo-METAR plugin. I have learned that americans measure air pressure in inches of mercury. And I have learned a lot more about the METAR format, a standard for weather reports, than I wanted to know. Sampsa Toivanen wrote a nice overview. More Useful links:
I committed a first patch to the FreeBSD port. But then I got tired and installed the ugly php code of the Wordpress plugin.
