The new mythweather module works in many countries now and also works  
with a relatively simple script to add support for many other weather  
sources.
Your loss is the world's gain.

Oh, and by the way the old mythweather module simple broke when the  
source decided to change the way their pages were displayed along with  
saying that it was against their terms of service for mythweather to  
use it in the way that it was. That's why it changed in the first  
place. What we have now is MUCH better than completely broken and/or  
illegal. :)
