This is a little guide on how to use the Google Weather API

Use this XML file for output in Fahrenheit:
http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=Drammen
And this one for Celsius:
http://www.google.co.uk/ig/api?weather=Drammen

And here is the sample C# parser (Celsius Version):

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml;
using System.Net;

///Code by Roman Alifanov - API by Google
///Posted on http://animaonline.blogspot.com
namespace GoogleWeatherAPI_Parser
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
    int i = 0;
    XmlNodeList GWP_NodeList = GoogleWeatherAPI_Parser(@"http://www.google.co.uk/ig/api?weather=Drammen").SelectNodes("xml_api_reply/weather/current_conditions");
    Console.WriteLine("Current weather in Drammen: " + GWP_NodeList.Item(i).SelectSingleNode("temp_c").Attributes["data"].InnerText);
    Console.ReadLine();
}
private static XmlDocument GoogleWeatherAPI_Parser(string baseUrl)
{
    HttpWebRequest GWP_Request;
    HttpWebResponse GWP_Response = null;
    XmlDocument GWP_XMLdoc = null;
    try
    {
        GWP_Request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(string.Format(baseUrl));
        GWP_Request.UserAgent = @"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4";
        GWP_Response = (HttpWebResponse)GWP_Request.GetResponse();
        GWP_XMLdoc = new XmlDocument();
        GWP_XMLdoc.Load(GWP_Response.GetResponseStream());
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
    }
    GWP_Response.Close();
    return GWP_XMLdoc;
}
}
}
Enjoy :P
