Metar Data

[Sperry Russ]

I have entered the metar identifier (KSEF) Sebring, FL, for my area in the main setup but it is not showing correct info when I click on Weather/Metar.

Also, it is not available in the drop down menu (Select Country/City). Where in meteotemplate does it store this information? I can see it from the NOAA database here https://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observa ... s/KSEF.TXT

That information is stored in a file called 'stations_us.inc.php' in map '/pages/metar/icao_db/'

But the indentifier KSEF is not in that file. I think you can add the information yourself. But it should be better if Jachym adds the identifier in the next update.

Right. The METAR identifier would need to be in the template. METAR may or may not be accurate for your location depending upon your proximity to it. In my case I have two weather stations feeding MT in two different places. One of my weather stations is so close to the METAR station I can see it from the roof of my house. My other weather station is quite far from the closest METAR station, and it is several thousand feet higher than the METAR station. As a result the data from that METAR hardly represents anything at my actual station.

I added the info to the files you told me about and now it shows up in my template. That metar is about 5 miles from my location.

Thanks for your help.
