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
