Thanks to that, I noticed that for some station names there are identical
names for more stations - I saw it, for example, in Canada / Yukon - 2 ×
Dawson, 2 × Tuktoyaktuk. Other stations with the same name can be found in
other regions. Maybe there would be a good idea to add some identification
to the name, which station is which.

Good day!
Has anyone noticed that kweather applet doesn't update weather data
anymore since some weeks?
More exactly, weather data for "Berlin-Tegel". Kweather comes
obviously with a database from which you can choose your location
(airport). For Berlin that used to be "Berlin-Tegel" and
"Berlin-Tempelhof" (which is dead since 2009). I checked with
"Braunschweig" and it shows actual current data.
Last time that happened the URL for retrieving the data had changed on
the part of the server (noaa.gov). This URL was hardcoded in the
source of the software and one of the developers had to change it (Tim
did that) and it worked again since.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the U.S.
Department of Commerce offers a lot of services on nws.noaa.gov where
the local weather data used to be served as single html pages which
were named according to their respective ICAO-Codes (airport IDs).
I suspect they again changed something, but I couldn't find anything
relevant on their homepage in a couple of minutes.
"QCLCD ASCII Files are no longer available. Please use the
Global-Hourly File Access link above."
I don't know what "QCLCD" means. I'm only guessing here anyway.
Maybe only kweather's database of available airport weather stations
needs to be updated…
Hi,
I just wanted to thank all of you and update you on the final status of
this, because a broader audience was involved discussing here.
I see the changes were scheduled for 14.0.10.
"SlavekB added this to the R14.0.10 release milestone 14 hours ago"
If some of you are interested in translating, the strings are also
available for translation on Weblate.
If you find grave misalignments of stations, countries, regions or other
irregularities, raise a hand please.
I came to the conclusion the grouping is best to follow a geographical
and not political belonging, but even this is not easy for some regions.
