Interestingly, national meteorological services seem to be among the few public institution that do "free data for the public good" right in general. Well done!

Interestingly, national meteorological services seem to be among the few public institution that do "free data for the public good" right in general. Well done! I'm throwing in the Norwegian Meteorological Institute's Yr.no [1] ("yr" meaning drizzle or lively/excited/giddy). Global data is available [2], as is data from measuring stations in Norway [3]. Apparently the service is so popular that printouts of today's weather (in Norwegian) have been found hanging in hotels in other European countries.
