So here it is: Is It Going To Rain Today?* IS IT GOING TO RAIN TODAY . COM - Probably a
bit more complex, but with some reverse IP
lookup for location and parsing the BBC weather
site, a fair stab is possible.

Problem is, here in Canada (and I suspect in other locations around the world) it's much more likely to snow than rain. So maybe double-parse it with the temperature, and if it's below freezing, have it say, "No, but it'll snow."

It's a top hit in our house. The kids click to see what they should wear to school. Bypasses the fights over "please wear your coat it's going to rain today". Please make it an iPhone/iPod app?
best thing ever

This is fantastic, but I have a wee problem with the reverse IP lookup. I live in Portland, ME, USA but get foisted on Portland, OR, USA. (I know I can manually change the location, but that's not nearly as cool.)
