    There are two .. both written by the SysOp, XQTR, of Another Droid.
    Give the BBS a call and do a search for weather. I've seen both in
    action and they are both great scripts.

    Hello everyone, I'm looking for a weather plugin for mistic > can someone
    direct me where to find it. Wish Synchronet had a weather plug in. That'd be sweet.

    There is a JS weather door for Synchronet. It has a very nice ansi/ascii interface. It was using weather undergroup to scrape the data and weather underground had $$$ issues and I think was sold to someone else and we lost the
    ability to scrape data from there.

    That door was well written and could still be used but it would need updating to scrape weather data from somewhere else.

    I don't know how convoluted it was, but you'd probably only need to talk to to your local weather service. Not that I'm using much detail off it, but TLP
    s weather page is rendered in a BASH script on my gateway server and just dumps the ANSI/ASCII file to the appropriate area for the BBS to find.
