YR.NO – A Decent Weather Site
The Norwegian Met Office has been in business for 70 years and have produced an excellent website in English as well as Norwegian that gives weather forecasts for seven million places around the world. They even provide the weather data free in XML.
However they are Norwegian tax payer funded so they’re hoping not too many people will use/abuse the service as traffic of course costs money. I think the EU should contribute funding for this excellent service.
Not only do you get a forecast up to a week ahead, you also get flash animations for the couple of days ahead. It’s easier to read and understand than the UK taxpayer funded site on the BBC and they don’t try to ram climate change down your throat!
