Re: Local audio weather forecasts

[Tim Ramsdale <tim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So - the solution I came up with was to parse the BBC RSS local
weather feed
with a perl script, and then 'translate' this into a weather report which I
use my mac to read out to me when I come downstairs. Since I know the
'translation' - e.g. 'very windy' means it is >15mph winds, 'brass
monkeys'
means it froze to -5 overnight and the like, it actually works quite well
(for me).

There used to be a great 1min audio news stream available from the BBC, but
the link stopped working a few months ago and I haven't found where it went
(despite searching).
