This class acts as an interface to the soap service of capescience.com. It searches for given locations and retrieves current weather data.
GlobalWeather is a SOAP frontend for METAR data, provided by CapeScience. If you want to use METAR, you should try this class first, as it is much more comfortable (and also a bit faster) than the native METAR-class provided by this package.
For a working example, please take a look at docs/Services_Weather/examples/globalweather-basic.php
