What is PHP Weather?
--------------------
PHP Weather makes it easy to show the current weather on your
webpage. All over the world airports make a so-called METAR-report
once an hour. A METAR report is an aviation weather report to be used
primarily by airplanes. The report contains data, in a shorthand form,
about temperature, wind speed and direction, cloud-coverage and much
more. PHP Weather converts this format into both empirical and metric
units, caches the data in a MySQL, Postgres or DBM database for fast
retrieval, and makes easy availably in PHP scripts.
