The data that I get from the web service does include a breakdown of the specific conditions (not a human readable translation, but enough to generate one). So far I haven't implemented that since I can read METARs myself. I'd want to be careful not to consume too much screen real estate. Something to think about for sure.

For sure. If you're getting your weather data via METAR/TAF, you should be able to read it :). And one can always resort to this (even though it won't decode everything). http://heras-gilsanz.com/manuel/METAR-Decoder.html

actually, it's really useful just as just a METAR. Prefer it. quick, simple, solves exactly 1 problem well.
