Thanks Fred,

Looks great, thanks - http://www.marshfieldcricketclub.co.uk/ ... hp/weather

However, is the "weather expired" warning temporary or permanent?

Hi Mark,

I have to look into this.
I'll get back to you.

This will be continued under Unreliable METAR stations (Weather expired)

Hi Mark,

2642981; Marshfield?United Kingdom uses the METAR EGDL of Lyneham RAF.
This station hasn't reported since June 21st.

The second nearest station to you is Colerne Airport.
This station is reporting but not regular enough to be used within Yowindow.

I think the best alternative for you is EGGD Bristol International Airport.
I'll ask the developer Pasha to have this changed.

As far as I know you can't change this yourself in the widget.
You can however re-add the widget with Bristol chosen.
If you like you can change the line:

value="location_id=gn:2654675&location_name=Bristol&time_format=24&amp

Change Bristol to Marshfield.

I will let you know when Marshfield has been corrected.
This may take some time.
Once it has changed you can put the original Widget code from Marshfield back.

I hope this helps.
Fred

Hi Mark,

There is a widget parameter that permits you to change the icao code.

current_weather_icao
Forces your widget to get the current weather from this METAR station ICAO code.
Example: current_weather_icao=EGGD

Keep your widget as 2642981; Marshfield/United Kingdom and change your code like this
value="location_id=gn:2642981&location_name=Marshfield&current_weather_icao=EGGD&time_format=24&amp

I hope this helps you.

Marty

Thanks for all your help chaps, looks great.

Hi Mark,

You need to fix the following in your code.
time_format=24&am;unit_system=metric
change it to this
time_format=24&unit_system=metric

Once you fix this, you will see Celsius for your temperature.
There is also a unit system for the United Kingdom which is metric with miles.

Example: unit_system=uk

I hope this information helps you.

Marty

Thanks Marty/Fred,

I think I've got as I like it.

Keep up the good work, I think its an excellent widget, so good I've also added a mini one to the homepage!

Hi Mark, Hi Marty,

Marty obviously knows a lot more about the widgt than I do.
Thanks Marty for your valuable help!

In the meantime the ICAO code for Marshfield has been corrected to EGGD (Bristol).
So if you were to add the widget again from scratch everything should be ok.
