				<title>weather conditions </title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Playing with weather api calls I noticed that weatherCondition is always ¨n/a¨. I guess the data is available but it is lost somewhere:

				<description><![CDATA[ Hi Timo

The raw data is in the attribute <i>observation</i>. Right now it is "LSZH 231420Z 28008KT 250V320 9999 FEW075 SCT300 24/05 Q1021 NOSIG".
This is all information we have and I cannot see any weather condition in it.

Two online METAR decoders are here :
http://heras-gilsanz.com/manuel/METAR-Decoder.html
http://www.wx-now.com/Weather/MetarDecode.aspx

Both of them don't display any weather condition for the observation above .

Cheers

Ah, you are correct. I though the "SCT300" would be the weather condition but it was also a cloud information.

				<description><![CDATA[ Hi Marc

I have been looking into this and found a decoder at:

<a href='http://www.balloon.hu/meteo/metar-decoder.html' target='_new' rel="nofollow">http://www.balloon.hu/meteo/metar-decoder.html</a>

If you click the example buttons they will show example codes and sure enough they all give a weather condition. However, when decoding your sample, no condition is displayed.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Sorry if im quoting the obvious here but your example of:

LSZH 231420Z 28008KT 250V320 9999 FEW075 SCT300 24/05 Q1021 NOSIG

seems to be missing the weather condition data which should be between 9999 (Visual range) and FEW075 (Cloud cover)

P.S. I was reading formatting details from <a href='http://www.astro.keele.ac.uk/oldusers/rno/Aviation/metar_codes.html' target='_new' rel="nofollow">http://www.astro.keele.ac.uk/oldusers/rno/Aviation/metar_codes.html</a>
