Not sure what version of KDE you have but in kweather CVS-HEAD you get a list 
of weather stations when configuring contact. First enable the kweather 
plugin in configure kontact and then add the places you want by selecting the 
checkboxes in configure. I think you must configure the kweather panel applet 
to get the sumary at Kontact.

I'm not really sure but I belive that if you put all the vcards in a single 
file and import it, kaddress will import all the contacts at once. Haven't 
done it so I can't be 100% sure.
