How do you find the station code of a non US weather station for the weather applet? I've been to weather.com and found a local station (Tampere/Pirkkala, Finland), but there is no mention of a code.

Thanks

Do 4-character international ID codes (ICAO) work? If so, try "EFTP". In Finland, only Seinajoki-Ilamajo appears to have a 3-character code: "SJY".

Cool, have it! I'll try this when I get home. Thanks.
TAMPERE/PIRKKALA EFTP 02944 61 25N 023 34E 112 X T 6 FI

Edit: OK i see what you mean now. Well, Seinajoki is close enough!

edit 2: nope, couldn't get it to work. i tried combinations of codes. i also checked out the apps homepage, but couldn't find anyhing there either.
