Can you elaborate more? Is this an API you're using? How will the data be fetched? Are you getting a JSON file you will parse in PHP?

I used weather underground's API before. When someone loads your page, your web application makes a request to WU's server, with parameters in the URL like the location, how long of a forecast you want, etc. It returns a JSON file, that you parse in PHP, and than bring in that information bit by bit.

They had code examples on the API site that really helped make it easy. Does that help?
