Where can I find free weather icons? [closed]

Related to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/139944/where-can-one-find-free-software-icons-images

I have a need for free weather-related icons. Specifically, I need icons that you might see in a ten-day forecast (clear day/night, rainy day/night, etc.) Where might I find such images?

Requirements: Like the author of the question linked above, I would prefer to not rip anyone's intellectual property off.

How do I get the weather icon?

Just open the Google app, which comes pre-installed on most Android phones. If you don't have it for some reason, you can download it. Once the Google app is opened, you should see a small button showing you weather info in the top-left corner of the Discover tab.

How many weather icons are there?

Following are the 99 present weather symbols used in meteorology. They are divided into groups as indicated below.

Weather.com has a free xml service for which they provide an SDK. The SDK includes icons in 3 sizes (31x31, 61x61, and 93x93) for about 48 weather conditions. I cannot find anything in their agreement that forbids using the icons for anything but their service. (Nor does it specifically grant free redistribution)

They are quite nice so it might be worth looking into:
