Thinking about it I guess FME might be of use. If the users posted temperatures to a web site presumably they would be just an x/y coord and temp value.
Simply write these values to a text file or very basic database, preferably with a date stamp. Set up a workspace in FME to convert the x/y to a feature with a temperature attribute (or use it as the Z value). You can use expressionEvaluators and Testers to create the dataset you need (eg just data for the last 24 hours). Other transformers (such as contourGenerator) might be of use to generate a different style of output. Then add a writer in the dataset of your choice (say svg or gml or something raster). Automate the FME process and your upload tool using Windows scheduler. There you are. Hope this is of use. Mark Mark Ireland, Product Support Engineer Safe Software Inc.
