Made the powershell version, Cheers!

function Weather { 

    $url = "http://checkip.dyndns.com" 
	$webclient = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
	$Ip = $webclient.DownloadString($url)
	$Ip2 = $Ip.ToString()
	$ip3 = $Ip2.Split(" ")
	$ip4 = $ip3[5]
	$ip5 = $ip4.replace("","")
	$IPAddress = $ip5.replace("","")
    $infoService = "http://freegeoip.net/xml/$ipaddress"
    $geoip = Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get -URI $infoService   
    $city = $geoip.Response.City
    $country = $geoip.Response.CountryName
    $api = "692447105f67a34c06d1cbeab56b17c5"
    [xml]$wr = Invoke-WebRequest "api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=$City,$country&APPID=$api&mode=xml"
    $data = $wr.current
    $weather = [PSCustomObject]@{
                                City       =  $data.city.name + ","+ $data.city.country
                                Weather    =  $data.weather.value
                                TempNOW    = [string]([math]::Round(($data.temperature.min - 273.15)*9/5+32))+'°F' 
                                tempMAX    = [string]([math]::Round(($data.temperature.max - 273.15)*9/5+32))+'°F'
                                TempMIN    = [string]([math]::Round(($data.temperature.min - 273.15)*9/5+32))+'°F'
                                humidity   =  $data.humidity.value + $data.humidity.unit
                                Clouds     =  $data.clouds.name
                                Rain       =  $data.precipitation.mode
                                Wind       =  $data.wind.Value
                                pressure   =  $data.pressure.value
}
    return $weather
}

Good little project to get you familiar with xml and web requests, I couldn’t get your code to work so I redid it.

$x = Invoke-WebRequest "http://freegeoip.net/xml/" -UseBasicParsing
$Country = ($x.Content | Select-String '\w+\/\w+' -AllMatches).Matches.Value
[xml]$data = Invoke-WebRequest "api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=$(($Country | sls '\w+$' -AllMatches).Matches.Value),$(($Country | sls '^\w+' -AllMatches).Matches.Value)&APPID=692447105f67a34c06d1cbeab56b17c5&mode=xml"

  [PSCustomObject]@{
  City       =  $data.current.city.name + ","+ $data.current.city.country
  Weather    =  $data.current.weather.value
  TempNOW    = [string]([math]::Round(($data.current.temperature.min - 273.15)*9/5+32))+'°F' 
  tempMAX    = [string]([math]::Round(($data.current.temperature.max - 273.15)*9/5+32))+'°F'
  TempMIN    = [string]([math]::Round(($data.current.temperature.min - 273.15)*9/5+32))+'°F'
  humidity   =  $data.current.humidity.value + $data.current.humidity.unit
  Clouds     =  $data.current.clouds.name
  Rain       =  $data.current.precipitation.mode
  Wind       =  $data.current.wind.speed.name
  pressure   =  $data.current.pressure.value
  }

But this just reminds me of how cold it is in Europe this time of year :frowning:

I am using powershell on win8.1 (version 4)
Do you mind telling me what didn’t work on your setup?
