 Refreshing just part of the page will involve frames or JavaScript (AJAX,
 for example, is about refreshing parts of the page without a complete
 reload). Considering the fact that both are a bloat and quite unnecessary,
 I suggest you use metatags to refresh the entire page.
 
 Wunderground used to embed the text in the image so I could snatch it but
 they now (starting last month) display text on top of a background that
 represents the current conditions. Have you found a workaround?
