One of the points on which there seems to be general agreement in the SEO (Search Engine Optimization) community is that search engines--and especially Google®--like to see fresh content--which is to say pages whose content changes frequently.
There is a package on this site--Freebie--that can provide you with thousands of relevant, daily-changing pages. But those pages are more or less a world unto themselves; what would also be useful to most webmasters is something simple they could just paste into their "regular" site pages that would automatically provide frequently changing content of a sort that would actually be at least interesting and possibly useful to their site visitors.
The tool provided here is one of what is a growing series of possible answers for that need. (Another, Rates, displays a highly customizeable array of foreign currencies calculated in terms of a selectable base currency.) This one, Weather, provides a one-line statement that you can place on any web page that will drop into that page a box showing local weather conditions for nearly any location in the world (and, for many locations, especially in the U.S. and Canada, multi-day extended forecasts if you like).
(Obviously, this too's usefulness to you depends on the degree to which weather data for some one location in the world is relevant--or at least not obviously irrelevant--to the theme of your site. I hope to soon have other such tools, so that the chances of your finding one that will marry well with your pages increases.)
To give you an idea of what the dropin looks like, here are operative samples of the different "sizes" it is available in. And remember: you can customize not only the "size", but the block background color and block text color.
