Weather, and a new xAPplication coming on

With a bit of a following wind, (ha - poor pun) there should be
another xAPplication available soon - a full featured weather program.
The program is widely used by weather enthusiasts all over the
planet, supports loads of different types of weather stations, does
wunderground and web sites updates, and much more.  Its not free, but
its very good value (he says as a happy customer)

The author this very day produced a beta that at the push of a button
plonks weather display on the xAP desktop, so I'm hopeful this'll all
work out.  yay.

Couple of points.

a) The weather.report schema has a UTC= field for the time, and it
displays as time on the xAP desktop.  But in UTC... OK in the UK, six
months of the year, but a bit out here in New Zealand....

b) The settings.txt file for weather is hard coded to expect an
mi4.weather source, I hacked it to be *.weather source, it seems to
work, is that OK, and should that be the default?

And a question - anyone who has weather data running now, how often do
you get updates?
