World Weather API server was down yesterday. So created a backup script to collect weather data from Open Weather API.

As a principle collect from both. Counter verification is always good. I also remember once you showed that data from World Weather was giving future dates.

Just maintain some stats about how often the API might be down. Will be useful

This is the plot from Both the APIs. Red One is from OpenWeather API and Black one from WorldWeather API.

We have kept Red one for as a backup service.(Server of black one was down for a day)

Looks pretty good to me. Although gives forecast, one may use it primarily for current weather info. 10,000 API calls/ day are free.
