I need a weather module for an Iraqi website, however, Iraq seems not supported by this module. Is there any reason for this? And is it possible to add Iraq-support?
Kind regards

toddy commentedThe reason is that I could not find a source for weather data from Iraq. It seems that the country does not provide the data to some website. If you can tell me where to get the needed data, I'll be happy to add support for Iraq.

Tobias

mixhael commentedI don't know exactly what kind of data you need, but the your module speaks of METAR data and wunderground seems to use this for Iraq too (http://www.wunderground.com/global/stations/40650.html)

mixhael commentedIt seems here are weather stations for iraq: http://aviationweather.gov/adds/metars/stations.txt
Comment #4
mixhael commentedThe weird thing is indeed that if you check the source you use for metar weather.noaa.gov it seems they don't have weather for iraq, since iraq is not listed under 'international locations'. But the weather stations listed in the link from aviation weather are available in the metar data of weather.noaa.gov.
So it seems it's only a matter of adding the cities, codes, coordinates and their stations into the database no?

mixhael commentedI'm figuring out how to do it myself, so now generated the following code. However, don't know how to properly translating the lat/longitutes
This is the METAR data:
