If you
wanted to make the nearest station calculation simple, you might want to
pre-generate a shapefile for the areas that relate to each station, you could
then just query the shapefile to get the nearest or most relevant station.

You can get all the stations here:
http://www.rap.ucar.edu/weather/surface/stations.txt
These have international stations as well.
I know in the US, you can use noaa.gov to query current info for a particular station, not sure about the EU.
Basically you have to find the station nearest the lat/lon you have, get the Station ID, then query. With NOAA you can get the info as XML, which is very handy to parse out.
I know this isn't exactly what you were looking for, but might help a little.

I was interested in this link (http://maps.customweather.com/image ) from the
previous thread but couldn't get anything useful from it. Any further info?
Thanks,

Hi all.
Sorry for the partly offtopic question: can anybody point to a wms resource
for live meteo data, in particular for southern Europe?
Thanking you in advance.
All the best.
