Weather eggdrop script for wunderground.com API
*** This API has since been closed by Wunderground :( Please look HERE for an more modern alternative
This is a simple script tcl script for an eggdrop that will allow users to set a default location and then grabs current conditions or a 3 day forecast using that default location or a defined search each time. The data is pulled from the very nice people at http://www.wunderground.com/ using their API which has no cost up until a limit of 500 calls per day.
Should hopefully be quite readable (as its quite simple? :P) but any issues or suggestions as ever please just let me know. An example of its output:
The full script is below for reference only:

# Name m00nie::weather
# Description Uses wunderground API to grab some weather...
#
# Requires channel to be flagged with +weather (.chanset #chan +weather)
#
# Commands:
# !wl
# can be 0 for Metric, 1 for Imperial or 2 for both
# !w
# Grabs current weather in location. If no location is suuplied will try to use users
# saved location
# !wf
# Same as !w but provides a 3 day forecast
#
# Version 2.6 - Fixed bug when no location was set with !wl. Added some help users can get by calling !w help
# 2.5 - Fixing some (hopefully all) the issues in 2.4....Lots of problems around the different
# way the api returns info for the first day of the forecast.
# 2.4 - If user prefs are set to recieve both imperial and metric results these are both now
# shown in forecast results (previously only imperial results were given). I dont think
# this code will cover all the API values but lets see. Does not require additonal API
# requests though.
# 2.3 - Fixes mutiple result issue for !wf (shit code)
# 2.2 - You can now query other users saved locations using their nick
# e.g "!w m00nie" would return the current weather for a user called m00nie
# 2.1 - Adds sunrise/sunset info (controlled by variable as requires additional API call)
# 2.0 - Add option below to automagically add forecast for next 3 hours to each current weather
# request
# 1.8 - Trying to improve code around mask/nick changes...
# 1.7 - Users can now set their own prefered metric type (Defaults to global forc variable type for
# users that dont have metric type defined).
# 1.6 - Corrects wind conditions when set to Metric, or Combined
# Adjusted styling for better readability (Contibuted by random4t4x14)
# 1.5 - Corrects flag detection for chans and adds option for current conditions to display
# both F and C temps in the same output. Might add this to forecast in future version
# 1.4 - Warn on more than 5 possible restults (stops LOTS of spam)
# 1.3 - Added warning when mutlple/unclear matches
# 1.2 - Correct RFC compliant output for some IRCDs (thanks to Alan and Robert for highlighting)
# 1.1 - F/C tempreture option
# 1.0 - Initial Release
