City Codes

This term is referring to the three-character code for a city. If a city has an airport, it has one of these codes. Our weather gateway displays weather according to these codes.

One way to figure out the city code is just to look through a text list of city/city-code pairs yourself.

We are confined to the city codes provided by the University of Michigan weather server. Thus we are unable to add cities not listed in the weather codes.

Some common city codes that people seem to be confused about:

San Francisco

SFO

San Jose

SJC

New York City
