Default destination weather

here is a link for weather can be useful for planning what to take with you

replace KPHX with the destination airport code, preceede with K, for
example for Los Angeles (LAX) use KLAX, Burbank (BUR) use KBUR
airport code must be in caps as this is a unix machine hosting this site
and unix is case sensitive

the link below is for Phoenix but you can use it to get Wx at any airport.

http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/KPHX.html

of course if you are a pilot duats is great too

Well, that works for Airport temperatures.
There are many other sites that include airport and non-aiport temps.

K is the designator or prefix for US airports

Y is the ICAO designator for Canadian airports

the site is for hte US National Weather service

for non-us sites
http://weather.noaa.gov/international.html

No you can't. For example, I tried my nearest airport, YBMC, and got no
result. Clearly that site is stuffed.

The poster failed to realize that his suggestion gets weather
reports from the US National Weather Service, which will not have
weather for locations outside the US.

Either that or he failed to realize TWIAVBP.

It would seem to be more reliable to just google for something
like

weather toronto
