Well… I must be missing something small. Below are all the places that I know where to change and the current settings in each, and the ICON is still not showing properly.
Any ideas of what I’m missing?
Thank you much!
Awesome! I think that may have resolved it. I’ll keep an eye on it off and on, and hopefully it keeps playing nicely! 
Thank you much!!
Ok, so now I’m not sure if this still working correctly. It’s a partly cloudy day, and my weather summary icon is showing ‘Sunny’:
Not only can i see the clouds around, NWS is also valdiating it:
It almost looks like this now went from being stuck on cloudy (overcast) to now all the time sunny.
Any advice would be great!
Thank you!
The weather icon is set to a value either interpreted by a computer from the prevailing temp/press/etc conditions, or perhaps by a human setting a value in a METAR at a nearby airport. Neither of those can ever guarantee that the icon will exactly match what the weather looks like outside at the very moment you look out of the window, or how NWS think it looks at your location.
Unless the airport is at the bottom of your garden then a METAR just reflects the weather some distance away - in my case it would be the weather 3-4 miles away. A METAR also just reflects a moment in time. They’re often updated every hour, but you might not see the new METAR data immediately, so the conditions stay the same for some time. 90 minutes ago when the METAR conditions were recorded it might have been sunny, but if you were at the airport now there’s might be a heavy rain shower. In the UK we have a saying about the weather “If you don’t like the weather, just wait a minute and it will have changed”. A METAR based icon is just fixed for an hour at a time, so that saying doesn’t apply.
If you’re using computed values from local conditions then they are just best guesses by WD. How often do you look at the variables of temp, press, humidity, etc and think “they’re pretty much the same as yesterday”, but yesterday was sunny and today it’s cloudy and drizzling. WD will try to interpret as best it can but there are far more variables to take into account than it has available, so it’s likely to get it wrong as often as it gets it right.
Yes, which why I was using a Solar Sensor to attempt to give a little more accurate representation. The Double Eagle II airport is probably about 2 to 3 miles west of me, so not too far, but not in my backyard either. For now, I would like to simply pass what the airport is using (Metar) and go with that until I get my solar sensor back online. I also checked the ABQ international airport which is probably 10 mi. or so across the city, and they also are showing partly cloudy.
I’m still wondering if I do not have the settings correct to pass the Metar?
Thanks!
