    Good weather site?

    There are so many weather sites out there (found 2 many using google), where are they getting there info? From each other?

    I am looking for a good weather site that updates it self at least every 5 minutes, and is reliable (or is there a more direct way to get the raw data from peeps who provide it?)

    I am just wondering because I just installed WeatherBug, and I figured id just code one myself.

    This is good for the US. WeatherBug used to be flagged by anti-virus programs. Don't know if they changed it, but haven't used it since.

    If you have Fx then you might want to check out ForcastFox. I've been using it for awhile and really like it.

    ForecastFox is very good. It uses AccuWeather.com which itself is very comprehensive

    Maybe you should have mentioned that in your original post.

    Don't start snapping at people (not to mention an entire country!) who are only trying to help just because you've got some sort of chip on your shoulder.
    By assuming a prejudice out of thin air you're actually showing your own prejudice.

    BTW it's "their allies"

    Shouldn't the Canadian meterologists be responsible for your weather?
