What do you use for free FOREX and WEATHER data

[Tea_J]

hi guys

i was just wondering What do you use for free FOREX and WEATHER for use with your scripts...

I could easily just call the web pages like yahoo finance and strip it down to get the data i needed.. but what i want is to do this properly...

Long time ago, oanda.com offered their forex rates for free to the masses.. pretty neat too.. socket connection and simple query lines only..

now the bastards are charging for it.. and VERY EXPENSIVE.. up to $1000 USD /mo!!!! sheesh

anyway you guys know of a good free content provider? particularly for foreign exchange and local weather

thanks

sites such as wunderground.com provide free RSS feeds to any1 willing to parse them..

heres a link to aucklands current weather forecast for example.. http://www.wunderground.com//auto/rss_full/global/stations/93119.xml

i made a script that cron ran every hour to retreive the weather infomation for 15 citys and graphed all the data...
