Problem with [Weather / Outlook] Tab

[Dehatter]

The METAR information shown on this page is not the correct data for the METAR closest to me.

Under sources the METAR is blank, and I cannot find where to correct this.

Please see picture.

Thank you!

G'day, Tom,

Have you set up in your main set up page the details for your local METAR?

[Dehatter]

Yes

[Dehatter]

It is the same on your page too. The data in current does not match your METAR info either.

That data is from WU using their airport stations.... so same problem as with the other blocks/plugins.... WU

[Dehatter]

Thank you for the explanation.

Any chance it could be gotten from the METAR information either in the block or the main setup page?

Just wondering.

The metar reports are inconsistent and also often unavailable. I know this because when I was creating some of the METAR blocks and plugins it was a nightmare. And most importantly, there is no history data, the official metar sources only give current conditions, the plugin shows history as well. The historical data is provided as GBs large files which can no way be processed by a script.

My workaround for this one is to quote out the "airport"-line in the source code.

Thats what I will probably do unless WU fixes it soon
