YoWindow Forum

Hi,

I am having trouble getting reliable/accurate weather information for my area. I live in Proserpine, QLD, Australia. The nearest weather station Yowindow can get data from is 40km's away on Hamilton Island even though their is an automatic weather station run by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology located at Proserpine.

Would it be possible to source data from the BOM for Australian Yowindow locations?

Here are the correct observations for Proserpine: http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDQ60801 ... 4365.shtml
and sky conditions: http://www.weatherzone.com.au/station.j ... &list=obsy (updates twice a day at 9:00am and 3:00pm)

Apparently METAR and TAF information is available for Proserpine located here: http://www.bom.gov.au/aviation/forecasts/taf/#8 (type 44 into the TAF search bar and select "Search") - Proserpine is listed eighth on the list. I have typed in YBPN which is the code for Proserpine in the properties menu but it keeps saying "Update Error".

I hope you can assist me in getting accurate data for my location.

Thankyou

I hope to help you with this problem until the end of this month. I will try to add the METAR station to YoWindow, but right now I'm very short on time.

Hi Justin,

I have posted a request to have your location fixed.
I will let you know when your location has been fixed.

Thank you for your patience.
