Re: Weather - wind speed
We're not sourcing it from our weather provider at this time, but I checked and the data is available.

Not only could we get wind speed and direction, we could also obtain:
Significant wave height (meters)
Swell height (meters)
Swell period in (secs)
Swell direction
Tide data

It appears to be available in 3, 5, and 7 day increments. I am curious if you think this information is of much use past 3 days (since there are incremental costs in getting it)

Also, it appears at most we could only get a fresh update every hour. In some cases, it would be up to 3 hours old. I am curious what you feel about those limits as well.

Let me know your answers to the above and I'll look into it a bit more.
