I'm Looking for WMS services freely available to the public to overlay on my application, specifically weather and AIS information.

Perhaps this is a good place to list some available online WMS services you have stumbled across?

Is there a way to search these directories for a particular area, I'm situated in Australia, Brisbane and curious about weather data available near me – Jamo Feb 21 '11 at 23:55

Sorry, was being a bit US-centric. Unfortunately, looks like the AUS weather service charges for access to most of their services, including WMS (reg.bom.gov.au/faq/GIS2Web_operational_release_2_FAQ.pdf). – wwnick Feb 22 '11 at 23:53

ArcGIS Server mapservices that support WMS can be located using an appropriately worded google search.
