Weather is an important factor in fishing, and not just from a personal comfort perspective in wearing the correct apparell either.
It affects many aspects of fishing, be it the conditions of a rivers flow, the swell of the sea or the clarity of the water as well, which affect fishing in various ways.
Providing information about the weather, particuarly on a local basis to your sites viewers if you focus on a certain area, is therefore going to mean your site is going to need to show content that is forever changing or link to another site that does this so your visitor can check it out.
Contiunually updating your content is not really on, but this is where weather feeds from specialized sites come in handy in putting dynamic content on your site. These allow you to put either a graphical weather magnet on your site or a search box for users to enter their postcode/locality in to get the info relevant to them.
Currently the best one for the UK seems to be Metcheck, where you can get a weather magnet like the one below from. (There site is also worth a look as they even do a fishing forecast indicating catchabilty!)
If you think you've found another good one the let me know (feedback/e-mail or post on the forum) and I will create a best feeds list.
There's another way of course of providing a weather service and that's to link your site to an appropriate page of weather content from those out there on the net.
I think it's best if your going to do this to link to the appropriate page for the area of the world your interested in that just send your visitors to a weather sites home page.
For those of us in the UK the following two sites offer excellent weather reports and features. I've not mentioned these with the remote feeds, because they don't do any free service as yet. Of course you may prefer to link to one of the websites offering the feeds because you prefer the forecast or presentation of the weather they give.
Anyhow here's my favourite two for the UK to link to, (I've used Southern England as my focus spot in the links).
The Met Office
The BBC Weather
You may possibly want to set the link up to open in a new window so your visitors still remain on your site, particuarly if the site you link to disables the browser back button. (How annoying is that! Not only as a site builder but as a net surfer.). I'll be taking a look at setting up a pop-up link in a future web tools article.
As with most things I post on this site, please feel free to send me your comments and suggestions for other sources and I'll add them here.
