I am looking to add weather reports to my website. I would like to use a service that is not branded and will not have any external website links. I have understand I will probably have to subscribe to a service but trying to find one at a good price is hard to find. Have a look at this sort of price http://www.qwikcast.com/matrix.shtml I would need to go for the VIP package and the price is HIGH. SO do you know of a similar service if not free at a better price? :?

Hi Mat,

I believe these people supply an unbranded service but they don't have the prices on their site: http://intellicast.com

They also supply the data to http://www.weather.com and weather.com have a form to complete for more info on an unbranded service here: http://www.weather.com/services/oapintellicast.html

Hope this helps,

Rob

This site uses SitePal to give folks overseas a weather update

I have just put weather on the corporate intranet using an rss feed from PA Weathercast. Cheap price, c£250 can't remember if it was branded.

www.weather.com is good but very very pricey

Tony is there any way that Sitepal can accept data feeds so the weather can be automatically updated?

Hi Matt,

Will adding a weather forecast to your site increase your business? As you market internationally, would not a weather map etc., 'localise' you too much?

Just a thought.
