Anyone know of all the possible weather conditions Google's API will put out?
I've got to match up my icons to the forecast, and I can't find a list of conditions.
You can use Google's awareness api to get weather info based off of current location.
The API allows you to incorporate weather data into your application, website or weather app in a matter of minutes. Simply follow our tutorials and sample code. And you can get started entirely for free. Our weather data API allows 1000 completely free records per day.
The Dark Sky app is one of the most accurate sources of hyperlocal weather information. The Dark Sky API (formerly Forecast.io) allows developers to access Dark Sky's weather data through the API (and was recently mentioned as one of the best weather APIs on reddit).
I found this list which looks more complete than any other that I've seen

</conditions>
EDIT
There is a new one here based on the original list:
https://gist.github.com/806934
It removes these from the list
<type>ICE/SNOW</type>
<type>WINDY</type>
<type>SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS</type>
and adds:
<type>HAIL</type>
Probably wouldn't hurt to use all of them anyway
That link was broken for me. Here's a list I found on another forum:
"Clear
Cloudy
Fog
Haze
Light Rain
Mostly Cloudy
Overcast
Partly Cloudy
Rain
Rain Showers
Showers
Thunderstorm
Chance of Showers
Chance of Snow
Chance of Storm
Mostly Sunny
Partly Sunny
