www.wunderground.com has free banner 'stickers' you can use (i.e.,
graphics). They don't have an API for grabbing the information, but the
schema they use is very easy to determine just by grabbing a few
stickers here and there.
Been a while since I messed with it, and the best detail I can give you
is that the stickers included a common path, followed by
COUNTRYCODE/STATE_PROVINCE_CODE/City_Name.gif, and that when you choose
what type of sticker you want, that determines the path and the image
size.
