Temperature for the Hague is wrong about libmateweather HOT 6 OPEN

Ok, so I found out the data is very outdated for this station...

For Hague the station that's used is named Valkenburg. Here's the part of the stations file:

      <city>
        <!-- The capital of the Netherlands.
             "The Hague" is the traditional English name.
             The local name in Dutch is "'s-Gravenhage".
          -->
        <_name>The Hague</_name>
        <coordinates>52.083333 4.300000</coordinates>
        <location>
          <name>Valkenburg</name>
          <code>EHVB</code>
          <coordinates>52.183333 4.416667</coordinates>
        </location>
      </city>

Its code is EHVB. Looking at weather data from that station here, I see that it was last updated... in 2010. 😮
And indeed, that file says:

Temperature: 41 F (5 C)

So, in order to fix this, we need to find some working weather station in or near Hague.

from libmateweather.

To be precise, we need a weather station in some airport that's known to http://aviationweather.gov (that's where we get weather data from). I think Rotterdam The Hague Airport (code EHRD) might be suitable. What do you think?

Valkenburg used to be a military airport, but it was closed some years ago. Rotterdam The Hague Airport is the closest airport to the Hague, so I agree it would be the most suitable choice. (otherwise, Schiphol Airport is the next closest)

Hmm, somehow I didn't notice that this airport is already added in the locations file as "Zestienhoven Airport". It should be available if you select Rotterdam as your location. Can you try testing this?

@Thomas-N Can you you test as requested in the comment above :-)

Recently Valkenburg got removed from libgweather. We can follow the same way, but first we need some of their commits, like this and this and possibly some other ones.
