You're right - I think this is the best solution for people who can't
update the database with another process (a cron-script or something
similar).
But if you use the above code, you should also make sure that you use
get_metar($station, 1) as the 1-flag will make sure that get_metar()
always used the METAR it finds in the database, instead of trying the
web, even if it's too old.
In the CVS version, you should set this flag to true, in your
defaults.php-file:
$this->properties['always_use_db'] = false; /* data_retrieval.php */
