The codes are based on airport designations. (where most of the weather
stations reside)

You can search your state for airports and codes by going to:

http://www.myairplane.com/databases/approach/index.php

and doing the state search.


and your local Weather Bureau's website has a link to the weather stations and show there the local code.
In the case of Australia, you can even use a map and drill down to a zone, showing your estimated readings,
with real readings for the closest stations.
these weather guru's are getting smart, it's unfortunate that the weather itself isn't.
