London Weather Forecast

Another Twitter hack - someone in the ideas stream wanted the weather on their mobile every morning, so I hooked up a bot to send the day's BBC London weather to a twitter account every morning at 4am.

It uses Yahoo pipes to strip out a lot of extraneous info from the feed to make it easier for Twitter to read.

The twitter feed is here: https://twitter.com/londonweather/

A neat improvement would be if the BBC's weather feed split out the different data - temperature, visibility etc. into different pieces of tagged data within the feed, rather than just a description, date, link - although if I had more time I'd do something interesting with the geodata in there.

The page includes links to all the tools I used, so anyone should be able to hook one of these up for where they live.
