how do i resolve this issue, seems to be very common. had the same problem with "weather bug"

Hi Pieter,

Welcome to YoWindow.

Please give us the City, State, and Country names of the locations that you are having a problem with.
If you know the GeonamesID, that would also be helpful.

I cannot research your Weather Expired problem until I have this information.

Thank you in advance.

its for Pretoria South Africa

and now Colombo Sri Lanka

Hi Pieter,

I will research Colombo, Sri Lanka tomorrow.
I tried it and had no problem with it.

Pretoria, South Africa is using the METAR station FAIR which is Pretoria Irene.
FAIR is operating for a few hours every day.

FALA - Lanseria - operates most of the day - it is down from UTC 20:00 to 03:00.

Go to Location > Properties.
Replace FAIR with FALA.

Let us know how this works for you.

Marty

sorry but i cant find an option where i can change that. i'm using Torch/Chrome browser. only have add city, units and inspector in options

Hi Pieter,

I did some research on 1248991; Colombo/Sri Lanka.
It's METAR station VCBI (Katunayake, Sri lanka) was down for a few hours on the past 2 nights.
Monday night, it was down from UTC 02:10 until UTC 04:10.
Tuesday night, it was down from UTC 02:10 until UTC 05:10.

I would like you to do some testing for me on Pretoria.
I have a fahrenheit version and a celsius version on my website that uses METAR station FALA (Lanseria).
If the server I use is down, wait a little bit and it will be back up.

Underneath the YoWindow Widget, there is a Show METAR.
Click on the Show METAR. You will see the time that the METAR was down.

Let me know how accurate Lanseria is for Pretoria's actual conditions.
Once I know this, I can put thru a request to have the METAR station changed.

Thank you in advance.
