Won't load weather for my location

Post by Cyberpanda12 »

I've entered my town as (home) on the locations page and it won't display the current temperature and other weather details for my town. It shows the full information for the town adjacent to mine, but of course not being my current location it's not terribly useful. Will there be a fix to this? I must have uninstalled and reinstalled the app ten or eleven times now.

Attleboro, MA is the town that won't work. It was working when I first installed the extension but it doesn't seem to now.

Hi Bryan,

This a typical Unreliable METAR station issue.
Therefor I've moved it to this subforum.

Your location 4929399, Attleboro/Massachusetts/United States
uses the METAR KSFZ North Central State Airport, Pawtucket, Rhode Island, United States at the moment.
This METAR has stopped working 2 weeks ago.

I think there may be 3 alternatives which could be useful to you.
KTAN - Taunton Municipal, King Field
KPVD - Theodore Francis Green State
KOWD - Norwood Memorial

I would like to ask you to test these and let us know which works best for you.
Since you are using the Chrome extension there is no possibility there to test this.
If you would be willing to download the free YoWindow desktop version however, you do have this possibility.
You can download it here: http://yowindow.com/deploy/yosetup.exe.
After you've downloaded it, put up Attleboro.
Go to Location/Properties and change the METAR code KSFZ to one of the above.

If you let us know which one works best we'll put up a request to the developer to have it changed in the database.
After that it will be working again for you in Chrome also.

Thank you in advance.
