Weater API's

I've been looking for some good Weather API's for quiet some time.

Here is a list of Weather Providers that are particularly useful:


Weather Underground

Weather Bug


All other services I have researched are either to restrictive or
There API provides only minimal features and one needs specific city codes
like for instance for the yahoo weather API.
Which makes it quiet difficult to automatically choose weather for a user.

Fishing Reminder

At the moment I'm developing a cool web application for fishermen who
believe in the solunar theory.

Check it out at Fishing Reminder

Its calculating Moon Rise, Moon Set, Moon Up , Moon Down , Sunrise, Sunset for any location in the world.

By using googlemaps actionscript api all a user has to do is to click on
his favorite fishing spot and then the application will handle the rest as for instance find the local weather, closest city, timezone and so forth.

The application itself is implemented with flex, flash, zend amf and joomla.

flex modules , application domain, Error #1034

Got Error #1034 while trying to access the same classes from
the application and from a loaded module.

Needed to add:

applicationDomain="{ApplicationDomain.currentDomain}" to my ModuleLoader Tag

Also needed to add all conflicting classes to the main Application Script tag, like this:

private var typeErrorClass1:Class1 ;
private var typeErrorClass2:Class2 ;

etc.

flex itemrender on a datagrid column

when using an flex itemrenderer the dataobject that gets passed into it is always the data of the whole row and not of the column only.
the datafield property of the column gets ignored.

php date, timezone, lamp

after changing the server timezone, apache needs to be restarted
before php's date and time functions return the correct time.
