Couple of weeks ago, I had been researching on how to display weather via RSS feed aggregrator.  I found one article that provides code on how to show weather in Sharepoint; however, I wanted to personalize this for each user.

Bamboo solutions already has a FREE World Clock and Weather Web Part that you can download:

I wanted to go one step further, what I wanted the web part to do was pull in the SharePoint user profile City property and then pull in the appropriate RSS feed for that city.

I have achieved this and have been contemplating sharing the code on Codeplex to see if others would like to extend it further.   I will if there is enough interest, but for now look in the next couple days of downloading a location based weather web part.
