is there a function or applescript similar to 'do shell
script
"zdump " & employeeUTCtimezone'
which returns the current temperature or weather forecast for a
particular city location?
? There's a big difference between showing the time across a bunch of time zones, and showing the weather info for those same locations If you want to show the current time across every time zone in the world, all you need is one clock (and the knowledge of what time zone that clock is in). You don't even need a network connection.
If, on the other hand, you want to show the current temperature, you need a separate thermometer in each location and a way of getting the data from those thermometers remotely. That's a totally different piece of functionality.
There are websites where you can retrieve weather information in programmably-useful form; the Weather Dashboard widget might be a good starting point. At the very least you can use "do shell script wget" or something...
