Weather web server

Web server that fetch and display weather data.

Weather data provider

The weather data are provided by infoclimat.fr (not affiliated).
Why them ? They got weather data accessible from a registration free public API.
Are they the best ? Probably not, their API lack modularity and some data that may be critical depending on your application.
Do they provide data outside France ? No.
