Also need wind speed/direction indicators.

I think this is starting to look like something where we might be justified
bidding for a WMF grant to fund development. I'm going to point Brion at
this discussion and also raise it on a few Wikipedia weather-related talk
pages. It just seems a logical extension of doing things like geo-location
to add location-meteorology.

I've got one more offer for help privately. I'll send to both of you
my code during this or the next day and we'll organize what to do.
