UK Warnings Block

Post by Johnny » Sat Jan 16, 2021 10:05 am

Has anyone else in the UK found the Weather Warnings block stopped working in the past few days?

Wah, it's gone wrong again, seems to go wrong when a weather warning is issued.

Yes I've noticed the same. Perhaps the data source has changed?

I've also noticed that the warningsEUregions block no longer displays UK weather warnings. Brexit perhaps?

It would be nice to get one or both of these important blocks working...

I think the xml reply has changed.
You can try the attached block ( but I don't know how it should display )

Hi Davidefa,

Thank you for the fix on the Weather Warnings block for the UK, I downloaded your block update, although it does work, it lists all weather warnings for the entire United Kingdom, selecting a specific area like 'se' for south-east does not unfortunately work.

I will continue to use it, as it's better to have this than nothing at all.

Many, many thanks - John

Apparently the errors are due to an error caused by the retirement of Adobe Flash, which has affected submission of the warnings from the Met Office to Meteoalarm. A fix is underway as we speak, so hang in there!

Hi John, I think you are seeing the previously cached data.
Nonetheless I have updated the block, so that it starts closed ( to be consistent with the behaviour of the other warning blocks )

The dreaded Flash, thanks Simon.

Hi Davidefa, thanks for the updated version, as you say it's now opens collapsed. But the previous version you did seems to have almost sorted itself out, so I have gone back to that one, personally I prefer it not collapsed. Thanks so much for your help on this, really appreciated.
