This is a list of sites around the world - more than 250 of them - which might be used for a tentative weather routine.The list can be modified, and MUST BE, because it's not very representative. (This list was built from the top 100 population centres + national capitals + a handful of odd sites I was interested in, but many were accidentally scrubbed due to character encoding or other problems in automating the lat/lon retrieval.)

This list produced the graphic plotting on this image, which shows too many dots in some locations, not enough in others. These dots are coloured based on recent temperature observations (at the time the image was created - not currently 'live',) but the ultimate application will be image-mapped to a page with a weather forecast + current conditions (which may be a part of a news portal, or a subpage of one, or a stand-alone weather forecast page for the location... whatever works best for the community.)

Note only a subset of this list is currently shown in the image. I could use some help updating the remaining continents to the new data format ( geobaseid#,Country,Region,Location,decimal latitude,longitude,2-letter country code). Currently the temperature retrieving routine is not failing gracefully when weather observations are unavailable - quite noticeable at Alert Point, Nunavut, Canada...

Leave me a message on my talk page with any suggestions on the weather concept. Edit this list (including adding points at Add location.)

Current listing[edit]

This list is an un-ordered csv of geolocations in the following format: name,toponym name,latitude,longitude,country,2-letter country code.

Add location[edit]

I don't need all of this information, but I need at least a valid name and country name. (Note this is not necessarily as easy as you may think; Japan, for example, is not always the country name used to find locations in that country.)

Some South American locations I couldn't find...

  • Caracas, Venezuela
  • Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela
  • Concepción, Chile
  • Mendoza, Argentina
  • Sucre, Bolivia
  • Quito, Ecuador
  • Georgetown, Guyana
  • Paramaribo, Suriname
