if you know the ICAO airport code (not the IATA one) then you can get the
weather for the airport or city

http://www.airport-technology.com/icao-codes/A.html

http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/YBAS.html (YBAS for Alice Springs
Australia

http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/KPHX.html (KPHX for Phoenix
Arizona)

the airpot code must be in all CAPS as the host is a Unix machine and its
case sensitive. May just be one of them cray supercomputers because
the returns from this web site are usually very fast.

great for flight planning or for planning a trip

In the US the IATA and ICAO codes are similar LAX and KLAX or JFK and
KJFK for example.

And KANC for ANC and KHNL for HNL?
