When I read this thread's name I somehow felt that this kind of little plugin has tonbe made by micropolis... YSMP is just right.

Are you using google as your source? That seems to be the best free api available and the best choice for MP I guess. Thismplugin should replace the standard weather plugin delivered with MP in next version!

If that is the case then the skin folder in the zip is incorrect as it is pointing to skin/default not default wide. but it would explain why i'm see the results i see.
