WeatherAPI
WeatherAPI.com offers very inexpensive access to live weather data for locations around the world.
You'll need to sign up for a free WeatherAPI Key before you can use service.
Note that you should set a fairly high update rate (ie. 60 seconds) for this particular driver/data source - weather information changes slowly, and polling the data slowly will allow you to stay within the free or least-expensive usage tiers.
Note that your ARDI server will need access to the internet to access this data.
