I'm not clear if this will help, but you can use 
http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/util/Search/Search.json?&search=gu2&region=uk&page=0
to return the relevant details for a given postcode. It's what is called when 
you use the postcode search on the weather page.

Subject: [backstage-developer] bbc weather feed location_id


Since http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/ has been ruined by a crack
smoking flasher, I was wondering how do you know supposed to find the
weather ids?

http://backstage.bbc.co.uk/data/WeatherFeeds?v=p12

I remember:
http://server-2.webcoding.co.uk/Locations.html

But that seems out of date.


Is Guildford for example, 4275?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/4275?area=GU2

It says London on the feed:
http://weather.webvm.net/?id=4275


I'm still looking for some sort of postcode or lat/long mapping to
weather_id service. :-)
