It's OK HN, I got this.

- Bad Google! Bad Google. On another note, here's a link to my totally unrelated startup.

- These guys are idiots for depending on someone else for their data. They should be out there building a nationwide - hell, worldwide - array of weather stations. It's the lack of ambition that gets me. On another note, here's a link to my totally unrelated startup.

- These guys are idiots for building a service around an unsupported API even throught it was fun, useful and there are many viable alternatives out there. On another note, here's a link to my totally unrelated startup.

- This is really bad. On another note, here's a link to my totally unrelated startup.

- I blame Apple for this. On another note, here's a link to my totally unrelated startup.

- I will now tell an irrelevant, self-absorbed anecdote about how I left school early, didn't go to college, got funded, ran my company into the ground, flipped and am now working on my next startup. On another note, here's a link to my totally unrelated startup.

AFAIK it was an unofficial API, discovered,through some hack on iGoogle, so despite all the tutorials on the web, basing any service on top of it was a risky business

I found this weather script that behaves much better than the discontinued by Google. I hope it helps. http://www.freeweatherforecasts.com/
