Additional comments
1) Using wunderground, we can obtain additional weather information
such as wind speed,wind direction, humidity.
This information can be presented in new chart (e.g. wind speed chart).
2) The interface for obtaining the data should be as follows:
- In the tour editor there should be two new buttons: "find stations"
and "update weather information".
The "find stations" button finds stations that are near the tour,
and add them to a station database.
Finding these station can be performed using the following URL http://stationdata.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/stationdata?minlat=1.0&maxlat=2.0&minlon=3.0&maxlon=4.0
Once the list of stations is obtained, the user should be asked to set a timezone for the stations.
In the preferences, the user should be able to view all the stations in the database, delete stations, and disable stations.
The "update weather information" fetches the weather info from enabled stations
in the database that are near the tour.
Fetching the information is done using the following URL: http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=XXX&day=12&year=2009&month=2&format=1
Then, it compute weighted average of the information for the stations.
The weights are according to the distances of the stations from the tour.

This feature request can be closed as WUnderground has ended their API (see official announcement here)
Additonnally, in MyTourbook 19.7.0, the ability to retrieve the weather data that occured during a given tour was implemented (using the WorldWeatherOnline API).
