Pretty cool site for weather reports: http://forecast.io/#/f/-1.2835,36.8238 One of the dataset source used by forecast.io is available for free from NOAA. Just click through the default options: Looks like Kitui is going to have 5 days of precipitation. http://1.usa.gov/YHQej0 Nairobi http://1.usa.gov/YeCpvH http://ready.arl.noaa.gov/readyout/8905522_metgram.gif This could be a very cool service to provide to farmers. - Get data from GFS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Forecast_System) - Have a farmer register for this service via SMS. - Provide a query interface or alert interface over SMS.
