I admit I've only been skiming this thread, I tried kweather once, it didn't have my nearest airport, nor could I figure out how to manually enter my airport's code ID, so it wasn't really useful. That said... Q1: Isn't there already an 'official' mapping of countries to regions? I know I've used this data on other people's websites (and Timezone data kinda does this as well), so I'd bet there is some goverment function somewhere that already maps it to pull from. Q2: Wouldn't it be better to have kweather itself auto-generate stations real time off of noaa? That'd at least solve the "can't find my known airport." Or at least a way to manually enter an airports code ID? Alternative 1: Would it be feasable to pull from wunderground.com (at least by manually entering station names)? Last summer I needed average temps around me for an attic fan setup and used data from wunderground. See attached. It's not pretty, but it worked well enough.. Okay, bowing out, best, Michael
