Same question as the last poster, except I live in Canada.
I did some searching and managed to find the metar for my area, but I don’t know where to find the “host name”, “directory”, etc. If anyone has a clue, please let me know. 
teh 5 day forecast is a forecast from the NOAA server…i.e its for USA people mainly
the structure of the file to download is via state name, (2 letter abreviation) and then a zone number (see the xxxx notation in the setup screen)
but i do have provision to use a non noaa style forecast, where you set the start and end html code to search for the days of the week (which you can set)
it worked with the NZ forecast until they changed its location to a DHTML

Sorry, bored today and looking for something to do on my day off
Here’s a start on doing an http download of the 5 day text file for London Heathrow. You should be able to search the site and find the exact text file you want and then change the url on the download page to point to the file you want.
The URL I used for this is http://www.bbc.co.uk/cgi-bin/education/betsie/parser.pl/0005/www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?world=4583
