Thanks for the update, I kinda fixed it myself a few years back, but glad to see an "official" one.

The script still works but the URL has changed. So edit the Python-Script and change the address in line 17 to: 
 
[code]url = "https://weather-broker-cdn.api.bbci.co.uk/en/observation/rss/" + url[0:7][/code] 
 
Enjoy!

As of Good Friday, this doesn't seem to work anymore, the vars are not being populated. I don't know if BBC have changed the format of the RSS feeds.

I can't seem to get this to work. I have the env weather.cfg set (2193733). I have RUN <>NIL: C:weather.py added to my Network-Startup. However, none of the envirnonment variables are being created, eg, getenv w_tmpc yields "object not found".

All I can suggest is that you go to your own national weather websites and find their RSS feeds and edit my scripts to fit their feed, there's nothing very difficult in the scripts. You just need to adjust the search terms and offsets, or just use your closest major city. 
 
That's the reason I released them with no restrictions on what you do with them.

You have to edit your worbench title in workbench prefs. eg. 
 
Amiga Workbench    %mgm MB graphics mem    %mm MB other mem     %e w_locn weather: %e w_tmpc, %e w_wspd %e w_wdrs, %e w_hmid %e w_visl 
 
Or for dopus5: 
 
DOpus Magellan %dv  Free Fast: %ff   Screens: %sc   Temp: %evw_tmpb%   Wind: %evw_wspd% %evw_wdrs%   Humidity: %evW_hmid%   Pressure: %evw_prsr% %evw_prds%   Visibility: %evw_visl% 
 
The readme lists all the env: names and what they do.

The weather.cfg is empty. Only my City-Code is available. How can see my weather in Titlebar?

Your run command is also wrong, try 
 
RUN <>NIL: AmigaOS:Internet/Wetter/weather.py

The "SetENV Save weather.cfg 6296510" command creates the weather.cfg file in ENVARC: 
 
Occasionally the script fails due to a bad responce from the server. a reboot usually fixes it. 
 
Use the weather-test.py script to test your settings. 
 
you can use the status command in a shell to check it's running: 
 
>status 
process x: c:python 
Process x: Loaded as command: wait

Script very useful (since that FlipCLock is no more fonctional). 
 
Thank you

I have done version 0.2 with easier configuration. I will test it for a few days before uploading. If anyone wants to risk it sooner email
