If you look at their images URLs you'll notice they include the following string: http://image.weather.com/web/common/please_use_our_XML_feed_ instead_of_scraping_this_page/31/41.gif (I personally have tried to check what this XML is all about with no luck). To get the real page open a socket to www[/i].w3.weather.com and send the following headers: GET /weather/local/55401 HTTP/1.0 Host: www[/i].w3.weather.com Connection: Close Anyway, if you're going to make a weather script for constant use, I suggest you to seek for alternatives and not to use it against the webmaster's explicit request.

According to that guide, you can retrieve the XML feed by requesting this page: http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/55343 Of course, "55343" may vary.
