Codes (precipitation_form):

code	meaning
0	no precipitation (conventional or automatic measurement), relates to WMO code 10
1	only rain (before 1979)
4	unknown form of recorded precipitation
6	only rain; only liquid precipitation at automatic stations, relates to WMO code 11
7	only snow; only solid precipitation at automatic stations, relates to WMO code 12
8	rain and snow (and/or “Schneeregen”); liquid and solid precipitation at automatic stations, relates to WMO code 13
9	error or missing value or no automatic determination of precipitation form, relates to WMO code 15
