Heres a challange for you, that script is good don’t get me wrong, but it’s always cool to aim higher.

Try getting the users location with google latitude and returning that location to a version of your script that can use a postcode to tell the weather at the location of that user. I have a google latitude script you could use if your interested in trying?
