Hi Christina,

hope I can help you:

1) we're using http://openweathermap.org/API ( they are providing also 
maps )

2,3) the following data for current- and forecast weather is provided:
- date
- temperature
- temperature min
- temperature max
- pressure
- humidity
- condition ( see here for possible values 
http://openweathermap.org/wiki/API/Weather_Condition_Codes )
- wind data (speed, degree)
- snow or rain (but not for provided for all locations, as far as I 
see)
- there is detailed data about clouds, too

Example from the API-docs: 
http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.1/forecast/city/524901?units=metric
(you can paste the json in http://jsonlint.com/ to get a nicer view)

The data backend of the app will be designed to make it possible to add 
other services later on, if wished.

Greetings
Martin
