One question, I notice that if I choose London, United Kingdom, the time of last update is showing the USA timezone rather than the boards timezone setting. Is the update value being picked up directly from MSN? Can it be changed so it matches the boards selected timezone?
Many thanks for a great addition (and you know what the English are like for weather!)

Yes, I know what English weather is like: When I was researching the new raw data layout for this hack, I had to find what a bunch of different forecasted-weather-type codes meant (how a code number in the raw data translated to meaningful text, which is what you see in the forecast under the icons). I did this by randomly checking weather forecasts for various cities on the MSNBC weather page, then looking at the raw data for the same city to see what code was associated with what description. Well, I solved a lot of that by looking up cities in England, which is where I got most of the rain-related codes, LOL! "AM Showers", "AM Light Rain", "Light Rain/ Wind", haha...about a dozen variations of what we in the US just call "rain"!
As for your actual question...The time comes straight from MSNBC; it's part of the raw data. I'll see if there's a way I can make it localized.
