To get this weather information it involves making a call to the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration which is part of the US Department of Commerce. As far as I can work out every airport has a weather station and they are obliged to send information to NOAA every hour. NOAA publishes this information as a METAR statement. The METAR currently being used for Blackpoool airport is here
The script I use grabs that information and converts it into a format we can easily understand.
