There have been many suggestions for alternative data sources that could
be used within WeatherTime, lately.
Thanks to Daniel (known as dc11ab in the forum), who mediated recent

That's promising, but as you mentioned it's valid for the US only which

Martin, if you're still looking for alternatives to weather.com, this
might work: http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/wrh/prototypedf_tab.php
It's a (likely US-only, unfortunately) NOAA tool that produces
forecasts in a few different formats, including XML. Configurable
forecast length and interval.
