Hi,

Your location is already in the database.
Be sure to select All locations.
I can be found under Битола.

Hi

The problem is:
For the city of Bitola the weather information is collected from the Ohrid airport, 70 km away and I very often see the message "Weather expired ". Few days ago it was raining a lot, but my website showed clear sky SUNNY DAY and "Weather expired " message.
I have followed the website instructions to find another weather station, but I couldn't find any.
On yr.no website I saw correct information for the weather in Bitola in every time of a day, so I thought, maybe Bitola is not interested in the database of YoWindow.


If Bitola is already in the database, something must be changed because I see "Weather expired " message more than real weather.


By the way, I must say again "EXCELLENT WIDGET"

Hi Jove,

I hope this helps you out. I just studied Ohrid (LWOH) for the past week.
LWOH METAR station is reporting every day from 0630 UTC to 1500 UTC.

I found 3 more METAR stations. I do not know how close they are to you.

LWOH - Ohrid, Macedonia - reporting from 0630 UTC to 1500 UTC.
LWSK - Skopje, Macedonia - reporting all day long.
LGKZ - Kozani, Greece - reporting all day. Shows sky conditions majority of the day but not all of the time.
LATI - Tirana, Albania - reporting all day long.

Click on Locations and then click on Properties. Change LWOH to LWSK, LGKZ or LATI.
Or leave LWOH alone as it should be operative again at 0630 UTC.

Let us know how this works for you. I wish I could be of more help to you.

Hi Marty

Thanks for your reply.

The stations
LWSK - Skopje, Macedonia - reporting all day long.
LGKZ - Kozani, Greece - reporting all day. Shows sky conditions majority of the day but not all of the time.

look OK to me, but my question now is: how can I make the widget on my website to load data from these stations, and not from Ohrid station?

On my desktop YouWindow it shows updated information for the Skopje and Kozani stations but in the code for my website I don't see where I can change the parameter for station.

If you would like to see how to put this into your Widget, look at my World Weather site.
Scroll down the page to World of YoWindow. Click on either F or C.
Scroll down the page to locations outlined in blue.
Oymyakon, Russia has a PWS but does not have a METAR station.

I hope this helps you out.
