Hi Par.
Maybe I missed something along the way so sorry if this is something that can be done.
I have my PWS and YoWindow working together for the most part. The weather window shows my data.
However, when you click on full screen in the weather window on my site you get data from the nearest Metar (KRME)
Will PWS data be available on there too when you click on full screen on this:

Thanks!

Tony,
I just tried and I see Westmoreland on both and the temperatures match. You're saying that you get Rome when you go full screen?

I'm pretty sure that is the KRME Metar Jim. That only updates every hour and can usually be off from my stations data.

You said you are pretty sure that in normal mode other data is used than in fullscreen mode, am i right?
Maybe you want to try the following:
Choose a city in another timezone, let's say Vienna, Austria. Then set your own PWS-file for Vienna.
In normal view PWS-data (data for Westmoreland) is (should be) used.
No you switch to fullscreen.
If your thesis is true, then the values should change from Westmoreland-data to Vienna-data - is this right?
But data doesn't change, i have tried it in my blog - so please: is it possible for you to provide a proof to be more than pretty sure?
I am thinking of a screenshot with:
one window your current xml, another window with YoWindow from your website and a third window showing the site the metar-data you said is used from (for KRME this is

Well after checking it for a while, it is my data. What is throwing me off is the observed xx minutes ago.
It is the LIVE data which is great. Thanks!

Tony,
Yes, I believe that "observed" is indicating the last METAR update which is still utilized for parameters that the PWS might not provide such as visibility. This applies more to the desktop version than to the widget. Maybe that should be different when PWS data is utilized?
