The current weather does not conform to reality

Post by meteohila »

Hello,
I'm using the time YoWindow widget on my website:
http://www.actiweb.es/xertestmet/ventana.html

The widget I have connected to my data PWS

Watch live that time does not conform to reality.
I am writing from Spain, Chert population (zip code: 12360), localizacion_id: gn: 3125163

I note that the meteorological networks that fit more in reality are:

- Meteoblue: https://www.meteoblue.com/es/tiempo/pro ... na_3125163

- WU:
http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/fin ... COMUNID143

Is it possible to change supplier in the weather widget on my web?
At the moment I do not use desktop YoWindow on my pc, only widget

In the Widget I efectudo some test code WU my station, instead of "id = gn: 3125163" I have replaced by "ICOMUNID143" seems to work but the hours do not correspond to today.

Is there anyone who can help me?
waiting for an answer,
thanks in advance
greetings,

Hila

The above are parameters that can be used on the Widget.

You have put in something other than the Geonamesid for a location.
If YoWindow can not find the location, it will display New York City in the USA.

So you are seeing the time and weather for New York City.

ok, thanks for the reply
the geonames I have indicated in the widget is 312 163, is the one corresponding to Chert / Xert, Spain
It is correct, but time does not correspond to reality.

As I indicated earlier, you can not switch suppliers weather?

in my area, given current conditions the best Meteoblue or wunderground

There not being able to add on the widget link these networks, to display a more reliable weather?

:pardon:

Please follow the above for your pws xml file.
The name has to be yowindow.xml not yowindow_metric.xml.

Hila,

I think the problem is that your xml http://hilario5.webcindario.com/yowindow_metric.xml does not have these values

<description value="Overcast"/>
<clouds value="overcast"/>

in the <sky> section. You don't say what weather software you are using, but hopefully it can be configured to provide that information. Without that, YoWindow has no choice but to use the conditions found at location_id=gn:3125163.

Post your weather software type and hopefully someone who uses that will be able to help. I am only familiar with Weather Display.

- Jim
