Possible values for <wx_code>ΒΆ
This is a list of possible values found in the <wx_code> tag in the API. This field provides an alternative to using the <wx> value. These two values will not always provide the same information.
In this case, some added detail may be possible. This is especially true in the <sfc_ob> section since the original source data might have more detail. In many cases, they will share the same information:
<wx>Clear</wx>
<wx_code>100</wx_code> (100 in this table represents clear.)
In other cases, additional detail may be provided:
<wx>Thunderstorms</wx>
<wx_code>95</wx_code> (thunderstorm)
or
<wx_code>97</wx_code> (heavy thunderstorm)
