wttr.in/Cambridge looks completely wrong. Says Cambridge, UK at the top, but -2°C and heavy snow? Really?

EDIT: looks like it's using http://www.worldweatheronline.com/cambridge-weather/scottish... rather than the one in East Anglia

There is no way at all to handle duplicate location names. Another nice example is wttr.in/denhaag which uses the South African city of "Den Haag", which is so small even Google Maps searches for it end up with the South African embassy in the Dutch city of that name.

... which is in a country so small, google maps searches end up with the town in Michigan of that name ;)

Use a postcode instead: http://wttr.in/cb1

Or lat/long: http://wttr.in/52.1988,0.0850
