      Please consider linking to forecast discussion text. In the US, for example, a page like this:
      https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=41.701735900000074&lon=-72.57880539999996#.XMPACLdKiUm

      and specifically the "area forecast discussion" like this:
      https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=BOX&issuedby=BOX&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1

      I believe these data are freely available through the NWS web API:
      https://www.weather.gov/documentation/services-web-api

      When I used weather underground I really liked the direct link to this information. The lack of it is the one thing that windy is missing. Otherwise windy is awesome. Thanks for all you do.

        Note that for US discussions (and other NWS products), you'll probably want to stick to using the new API as described at the last link above as the first two links will, eventually, not work.

        The latest Service Change Notice regarding NWS forecast URLs is here:
