Weather web service for Europe? [closed]

We are looking for a reliable "current weather" web service for Europe, with city resolution. We only need the current weather.

Since it is for a commercial web site, we don't mind paying a reasonable fee for the service.

What are our options? What service would you recommend or avoid based on previous experience?

Note: SOAP Web Service, XML RPC, REST, all are fine.

The US NOAA has coded METAR information available for cities worldwide. Given the ICAO airport code for the city in question (eg. EGLL for London) you can quickly get a METAR report.

Weather Underground is a successful weather site that cover most of the world. We've used their data sometimes at work. They offer weather XML feeds and API which includes access to current observations.
