Yip, just a couple of simple pattern matches (perl), removing all content
before and after what I'm looking for. Doesn't produce valid html, but I
really don't care as long as it works.

You could parse the data out of the html, but that's risky, although the
met
office page is very nicely laid out in html, and should be easy to parse.
The BBC one (which uses met office data feeds) may also be simple to parse
for the information you want
