Just because the sites don't complain about it, doesn't mean
its okay. Your taking their content and supplying it on
your site as if you were generating the content yourself,
even with a link to their site, especially if you don't ask
nicely (some sites want you to ask for permission to even
link to them).
Most do offer a subscription service that will allow you to
download a small database of weather information three or
four times a day then parse to hearts content. Guess it all
depends on your budget.
(yeah okay so one of the weather grabbers on the dev
exchange is from yours truly, I'm a hypocrite).
