Incorrect current weather from Metar

Post by pau57 »

Hi Pasha

I'm in Nanaimo, BC Canada and the website widget is indicating Sunny when its pouring rain...
The Nanaimo Airport and weather station is only 12Kms south... Here is the url for Metar info: Intl code is CYCD

http://www.flightplanning.navcanada.ca/ ... peDoc=html

Typing the identifier code in the window - brings you to this url --- http://www.flightplanning.navcanada.ca/ ... /metar.cgi

And you will immediatley see the Metar/Taf for my station....

I believe this is the info you need to make a correction... many thanks and love the widget... may go for the longer term forecast version later...

Thanks Pasha - As of 12:42PM it's still the same so I assume no correction yet... If you have the time
to look at the site - just below the yowindow widget is another window displaying decoded metar data
from the Nanaimo Airport so an instant comparison can be made... Now, mostly cloudy, wind nnw 11kph
widget showing sunny winds nw35-46kph


My url is:

You can be sure I'll spread the yowindow word around... Cheers

Hey, Pau!

Unfortunatel I cannot find YoWindow widget on your page.

Thanks for spreading the word and helping YoWindow to get bigger!
