Package: weather-util
Version: 1.2-1
Severity: normal

When using a station ID (possibly outside the US only), the forecast
will still be for the default station.
While it's perfectly acceptable that the forecast is not available
(I guess there might not be any data for it) for certain stations,
it is usability wise highly misleading to display current information
from one station, and a forecast from another.

Here's some output from the program to illustrate the problem:

[EMAIL PROTECTED](Main:10):~> weather --id ESGP --forecast
Current conditions at Sweden (ESGP) 57-47N 011-53E 53M (ESGP)
Last updated Jul 21, 2006 - 05:20 AM EDT / 2006.07.21 0920 UTC
   Wind: from the SSE (160 degrees) at 7 MPH (6 KT)
   Temperature: 69 F (21 C)
   Relative Humidity: 77%
City Forecast for Raleigh Durham, NC
Issued Friday morning - Jul 21, 2006
   Friday... Partly cloudy, high 93, 40% chance of precipitation.
   Friday night... Low 70, 40% chance of precipitation.
   Saturday... Thunderstorm, high 88, 60% chance of precipitation.
   Saturday night... Low 71.

My suggestion is to add something like a single line telling me
is unavailable for the station ID I have specified.
