Where can I find Free Weather Icons?

Question

Related to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/139944/where-can-one-find-free-software-icons-images

I have a need for free icons relating to weather. Specifically, I need icons that you might see in a 10-day forecast (Clear Day/Night, Rainy Day/Night, etc.) Where could I find such images?

Requirements: Like the linked question above, I would prefer to not rip anyone's intellectual property off.

Answer 1

Well a quick Google for "weather icons" produced good results. Or places like deviantART (2nd link) are a good bet.

Answer 2

The Buuf Icon set contains a subdirectory Things/Weda with 15 weather icons in it. It is CC Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0. No good for commercial apps, but okay if you are looking for something for a free app which I assume you are since you aren't willing to pay ;)

Answer 3

Hi you can find some really great icons here

it's an openSource icon theme

Answer 4

Weather.com has a free xml service for which they provide an SDK. The SDK includes icons in 3 sizes (31x31, 61x61, and 93x93) for about 48 weather conditions. I cannot find anything in their agreement that forbids using the icons for anything but their service. (Nor does it specifically grant free redistribution)

They are quite nice so it might be worth looking into:
