Hi All,

Modification to Weather module of Drupal CMS. For more details about Weather module, please visit http://drupal.org/project/weather

METAR - METeorological Aerodrome Report. For more details, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/METAR

For India, few names are available - following names are not included.

'VEPT' => array('name' => 'PATNA ', 'lat' => 25.36, 'long' => 085.06),
'VECC' => array('name' => 'CALCUTTA/DUM DUM ', 'lat' => 22.39, 'long' => 088.27),
'VAGO' => array('name' => 'GOA/DABOLIM (NAVY) ', 'lat' => 15.23, 'long' => 073.49),

Add these in modules/weather/icao_codes.inc

$icao_codes['India'] = array(
..............
..............
'VEPT' => array('name' => 'PATNA ', 'lat' => 25.36, 'long' => 085.06),
'VECC' => array('name' => 'CALCUTTA/DUM DUM ', 'lat' => 22.39, 'long' => 088.27),
'VAGO' => array('name' => 'GOA/DABOLIM (NAVY) ', 'lat' => 15.23, 'long' => 073.49),

);

I am trying to find out data for other cities too. Since this system relies on data provided by Airports using a predefined format called 'METAR', most airport in India dont update this data regularly - thus weather report is not available for them.

Please feel free to ask any question regarding this at vinay@vinayras.com
