The list of provinces/territories is correct, but there are ~700 Canadian weather
stations on the list, and some of them are going to be difficult to place. None of
them use the "state" field, although some of them annotate the "city"
field with a
province. Some may have to be tracked down using the latitude and longitude
given.
For example:
CYUY;--;---;Rouyn Airport;;Canada;4;48-12N;078-50W;;;301;;
That's presumably a general aviation airport serving Rouyn-Noranda, QC, but
I only know that because I've been through the town and was aware it was in
close proximity to CYVO in Val D'Or, which allowed me to double-check the
coordinates. There are several thousand people for whom CYUY is going to
be their nearest weather station, though, so it doesn't seem right to leave it out.

Mapping to Canadian provinces wouldn't be too
hard; where can I get the
list of stations? Don't know about other countries; you'd have to ask
people from those places for help.

Can you create a simple mapping ( station_ID state_ID) and review the
state_ids below, please?
