Extension:Wunderground

What can this extension do?
If supplied with location data it will return a JSON stream of various weather data. This extension creates the tag, it takes various arguments e.g This arg can then be used to push to wunderground to return weather data based on this location.

See http://www.wunderground.com/weather/api/d/documentation.html for specifics of what you can push to wunderground.

Usage
In this case I am using ICAO codes for airport data, this is passed to wunderground as non ambiguous location data. Cities, Lat/Long and others can also be used. See Docs above and note slight change of URL ebing called. " /q/"airport" vs "/q/STATE/CITY"

NOTE: the Wunderground API has been discontinued, thus making this extension non-functinoal. YOU WILL NEED TO APPLY FOR AN API KEY. It takes 2 minutes and is free. Here
