Used the following URL:
http://ws.geonames.org/findNearByWeather?lat=54&lng=-1.46&style=full

Received the following observation:
EGXD 271250Z 16011KT 2800 BR OVC002 03/03 Q1010 AMB BECMG 4000 BKN006 YLO1

The weatherCondition is returned as: n/a
But METAR decoders return weatherCondition as: Mist

I'm getting similar results with other locations.


Fantastic service by the way!

Improving the METAR parser or finding another one is on the todo list:

Would you like to help out?

I spent several hours this morning trying to find a decent parser. I can't quite get my head around it...

I can look into getting a couple more translations for the METAR weather conditions though
