 Yahoo produces a rss weather feed based on weather.com's forecasts and reports. As well as the numeric data such as temperature, wind speed, humidity and so on the feed includes condition codes to describe the weather conditions. There are 47 condition codes, see above for a a full listing. These condition codes are used to describe all the weather conditions across the world.


The problem with visualising live data

Although there are 47 conditions codes to describe all the different weather conditions yahoo only uses about 15 codes to describe the weather conditions in Bristol and over half of the condition codes are either partly cloudy or mostly cloudy. Does partly cloudy give an accurate description of the current weather conditions? There are only two descriptions of rain, drizzle and showers (which is repeated) are they descriptions that enhance our understanding of the weather. Considering how much the weather occupies conversation in England it is surprising that the live data feeds don't a more descriptive report of the weather.
