Go to [http://www.bbc.co.uk/cgi-perl/weather/search/new_search.pl] and search for your location. Copy the link to the 3 day forecast feed, for example [http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/rss/5day/world/0105.xml]. Then just put that link into the following command to get a quick command line weather forecast.
wget -q -O - http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/weather/.../XXXXX.xml | grep title | sed -e "s/<[^>]*>//g" -e "s/°//g" | egrep "^[A-Z]"
Example:
$ wget -q -O - http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/rss/5day/world/0105.xml | grep title | sed -e "s/<[^>]*>//g" -e "s/°//g" | egrep "^[A-Z]"

posixGene, originally this symbol is space, so you can convert it by adding sed -r 's/°/ /' in the end of command.
