# The format of this file is one weather phenomenon per line. Each line is two # fields, separated by a '='. The first field is the short code for that # weather phenomenon. The second field is the plain language description. # Lines starting with '#' are ignored. # This is an incremental override file, indicating that the files at different # localization levels will be combined. # The descriptions in this BASE file were taken from taf2mysql.pl from the # AWC TAF website.
