Weather module using UK Met Office data

[malc_b]

My suggestion would be for a module like yahoo weather but using the Met Office data  Met office data is available for free but you do have to sign up for an API key.  It is called datapoint.  I've searched and there are some perl modules datapoint but I've not found any fhem ones.  I would imagine it would be similar to the Yahoo weather module in implementation, perhaps simpler.  Below is an example XML site forecast

As this does not format well I've attached a picture of the data too.

This is the xml data for a weather site, one of 5000 in uk.  JSON is also possible.  And there are other forecast available.  All in the info is on the met office datapoint site, but for live data you need  a (free) api key.
