New “Today in Weather History” script now available.
Version 3 is now available. This version uses an alternative source if in primary source fails. Additionally, this version has a lot of easy features for implementation.
Hey guys, this script depends on the nice folks at the U.S. http://www.weatherforyou.com/ website publishing and making the data freely available for use by third party websites. If you can find or create a European site which not only has the data, but also allows others to use it for free, then maybe some kind person like Michael will create a script to use it.

What means for me (sorry if I’m wrong and interpretere this false as because of my non-knowledge of English in this 8) ) to mention the copyright of this and the site were the data is from; ‘could’ be enough to publish for non commercial use.
But maybe as at ‘meteo alarm’ script of Ken it’s wise to ask for permit in a script.
It appears that the page in which you are referring is historical weather summaries for a specific day. The today is weather history script is for “significant” weather events.
Yes Michael and a search with "significant weather events history today Europe -America -Australia’’ in google served me 44.200.000 hits within noaa usatoday etc #-o :roll:
maybe other interested people have some good hints ?
While the script “works” as is, Rick of deltaweathercam.com provided a snippet of code that proves to be a bit more robust when parsing for the history. Some of the history was getting truncated in certain situations. Thanks Rick!
