want to be able to display
weather information (related to our DC) and so on.
...
Can be this goal be done? Any suggestion about best aproach?
You can put any content in Your custom test output. As well as HTML code 
too.
I do it in the following way
# do check, etc. and collect all required content to display in one file
echo "<BR>My DC Report: "                        >  ${TEST_DETAILS_FILE}
my_xymon_independent_script_to_show_info.sh     >>  ${TEST_DETAILS_FILE}
echo "<BR>-- enf of report --"                  >> ${TEST_DETAILS_FILE}
...
# do whatever else required
# SEND ALL TO BBDISPLAY with multiline arguments in ""

$BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.$TEST $COLOR `date`
     `cat ${TEST_DETAILS_FILE} `
"
# EOF
