Re: Class Proposal Weather_Metar

METAR is a rather cryptic format to describe weather conditions ex: 2002/08/27 09:50 LCEN 270950Z 01009KT 9999 FEW030 34/07 Q1008 NOSIG RMK RWY11 35007KT These conditions are reported by airports periodically (hourly mostly), so using it you can show current weather conditions for a locations ICAO is an aviation organization (blatant assumption), ICAO code is basically a 4 letter code describing a location, ex: Germany/BREMEN - EDDW if you go to http://yavo.siava.org/PEAR_METAR/test.php?code=EDDW you'll see current (within a few hours) weather conditions for Bremen Germany ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tomas V.V.Cox" <cox@idecnet.com> To: <pear-dev@lists.php.net>; "Richard Heyes" <richardh@web-ideas.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 27, 2002 2:45 PM Subject: Re: [PEAR-DEV] Class Proposal Weather_Metar > Richard Heyes wrote: > > > > > I've written a class to parse METAR data, used to display > > > current weather > > > conditions. > > > http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/metar.shtml > > > > > > It has a few rough edges, but I wanted to know if there is > > > interest to add > > > it in PEAR.
