hi Richard

the BBC is currently working on a rebuild of its weather website to incorporate more Met Office locations and longer term forecasts.

As part of this we are using Geonames IDs in our URLs to represent forecast locations along the lines of bbc.co.uk/weather/:geoID, so for example the forecast for Stafford would be something like
http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2637142

Not exactly publishing linked data, but hopefully opening up the potential to link up BBC/MO weather forecast data with other data sources more easily

Hi All,

next week I am meeting with the New Zealand Met Service (
http://www.metservice.com/ ). Before the meeting I am planning to do some
background research on examples of weather related information being
published as Linked Data.

If you know of some examples I'd really like to hear about them,
especially around the business value of publishing weather related
information as Linked Data.

Cheers,

Richard Hancock
