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.
