Try
    weather.pl | ( while read a eq b; do
	case $a in 
	    celsius|conditions|humidity|pressure|wind) echo "$a = $b" ;;
	    place) place=$b ;;
	    updated) updated=$b ;;
	esac
    done 
    echo "$place @ ${updated% on *}"
    ) | sort

Or, if you need 'weather.sc' file, then
    weather.pl > weather.sc
    ( ... ) < weather.sc | sort
