icao airport weather for anywhere

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

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. using the link above you can also get the wx for GA
(General aviation) airports too like KCHD (Chandler Municipal) KBLH
(Blythe California) so if you will be near an airport that reports wx
but not a place where jets normally land then use the closest identifier
of course airnav.com is useful for looking up airport codes too.

duats is good for right before takeoff but for planning what to wear etc
this is great
