Forecact block - wxsim

Post by meteocharleroi » Tue Jan 19, 2021 7:15 pm

Hi,

Is there any owner of Wsim user which are using the forecact block ?

I have some trouble withit, the precipitation amount are not correct.

Did you use special option in Wxsim ou Wxsimate or you have the same problem ?

Thanks a lot.

hello, me.
I have already reported the problems to Jachym a long time ago.
Meteotemplate has a very nice plugin and a great forecast block but unfortunately they don't work as it should.
I look forward to it confidently...
bye

I added a crontab update.sh to run 20 minutes after my wsxim run.
this grabs the latest.cvs and plaintext.txt files from the server with wxsim on it
The script is

cd < path to >/plugins/wxSim/
rm -f latest.csv
rm -f plaintext.txt
wget https://[ipv6 ip]/wxsim/latest.csv --no-check-certificate --append-output=wx-log.txt
wget https://[ipv6 ip]/wxsim/plaintext.txt --no-check-certificate --append-output=wx-log.txt

My meteoteplate is on ivp6 only so I access my old weather site via ipv6 to keep a check on my ipv6 internal network.

I did have to change the settings for 23h Fix to no because it was showing the entire forecast -24 hrs ie A run on Monday was displayed as Sunday.
