Hello, I noticed a few days ago that the map section of the GFS block stopped working, is there a problem?

Same issue...

Mine has been blank for several days as well. There is probably a change in the data source. I haven't yet gone into the code to see about that.

How is this theme? Does anyone know why this block does not work?

Probably a data source change

Any news?

I dont see any problems

Hi Jachym. Click the map. Yours doesn't load for me either.

Hello!
Same for me. The map doesn't work...

Aha, I see, sorry I just looked at the graphs.

The problem is with the data source. The old links are dead and the new ones use dynamic numbering, ´which in fact makes it impossible to use further. Once you click the image, it requests the link from the server, but this link is dynamic. It uses logical naming, i.e. date and hour of forecast, but the problem here is that the images are updated at a certain time.

What I would need is some kind of an API, where you send a particular request and receive an exact link. HTML scraping is not really an option - this is something I used in the past and the result is that blocks/plugins stop working very often because a single change in the HTML makes it non-functional - even such small change as adding a space. The script has exact parts of the code it looks for and if it does not find them, it gives up.

Does anyone know any GFS API?

It's been more than a few days since it's stopped. I checked around and every station I looked at (about 10 roughly) quit. I'm trying to remember but it's been over 2 weeks or more. Checking Jachym's link it did work and again checking around it is not working for anyone including myself. I guessed they changed links or API. On my page it is under the Windy radar/NOAA/LIGHTENING...... Menu.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all that celebrate or your respective holidays.
