YoWindow Forum

Hi

I just purchased your software today and compared the temperature for 6295954;Nakusp/British Columbia/Canada to the data posted from the weather station located there. Your data reads 12 degrees C and the Environment Canada (typically quite accurate) site specifies 7 degrees C! Can you please explain why there is such a huge discrepancy? This is an agricultural community and knowing when it's going to freeze for example is extremely important - so therefore it is imperative that the temperature data is accurate!

Here is the link to the Environment Canada website: http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/city/pag ... ric_e.html

Thank you in advance for getting back to me.

Your post has been moved here, because it has nothing to do with "add location" - Fred

Your location-request for Nakusp has been put under pending locations just a few hours ago, so it's not in the list of available locations yet.
My version of YoWindow of course doesn't list Nakup in the canadian locations.

Please send a screenshot of whatever screen you are refering to when saying "Your data reads..." - thank you!

Hi
Thanks for getting back to me. What I meant by "my data reads" is the real time weather data at the hyperlink that I provided. If you navigate to this site and compare it to the real time temperature data on your 'YO' site there is a 5 degree discrepancy... Having a cool interface is one thing, but it's also important (at least for me) that the temperature data be accurate as well... Tracking climate change is important to me too - and knowing that the historical data on your site is indeed accurate would greatly affect my confidence level in your product as well and I could thus use it as a reference. Hope this helps...

Hi Jeff,

6295954;Nakusp/British Columbia/Canada has not been added to YoWindow database yet.

You are comparing a location to Environment Canada website.
What is the town name on YoWindow that you are using for your comparison?

Once I know the town name, I can study YoWindow and Environment Canada to see why the difference.
Please help me to help you.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Marty

Nakusp was the name of the town...

Jeff

With all due respect...

At this time...the temp display in YoWindow is spot-on !!!

Hi Wally

Maybe it was just an anomaly - hope so because I'd really like to be able to rely on your application because I think what you guys have done is really cool. Thanks for looking into it for me.
