Get weather from openweathermap.org about weather-notification-android HOT 4 CLOSED

Issue 70 has been merged into this issue.

Another alternative would be yr.no . Its data is coming from the Norwegian 
Meteorological Institute. This service was considered good enough for the 
xfce4-weather-plugin to switch from weather.com to yr.no . [1] 

Perhaps this would be good for weather-notification-android, too.

Yet another alternative, preferable to Google as far as I'm concerned, is the 
Yahoo! Weather RSS Feed [1]. It comes with an extensively documented API. 
[1] http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/

An example of their API use: 
To get the forecast for Paris, France, use the WOEID 615702: 
http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=615702

Terms of Use: 
"The feeds are provided free of charge for use by individuals and 
non-profit organizations for personal, non-commercial uses. We ask 
that you provide attribution to Yahoo! Weather in connection with your 
use of the feeds. 

If you provide this attribution in text, please use: "Yahoo! Weather." 
If you provide this attribution with a graphic, please use the Yahoo! 
Weather logo that we have included in the feed itself. 

 We reserve all rights in and to the Yahoo! Weather logo, and your 
right to use the Yahoo! Weather logo is limited to providing 
attribution in connection with these RSS feeds. 

Yahoo! also reserves the right to require you to cease distributing 
these feeds at any time for any reason." 

These terms seem pretty innocuous. The app is clearly not a for-profit 
organization and has no commercial use. As long as we give due credit we should 
be able to use their feed. 

For a lengthy discussion on the Xfce ML on the (dis)advantages of various free 
weather data providers---Google, Yahoo, openweathermap.org, met.no, 
WorldWeatherOnline, etc.---see [2].

Openweathermap is free and open. It's the only free weather source available. 
So while it works implementation of other sources have minor priority.
