Hamweather & Humidity

radarman · November 7, 2003, 6:08am

I’ve been using my local METAR, downloaded from weather.noaa.gov, to import the humidity value. This has been working good for me. However, for almost the past week, the METAR’s from the noaa server have been 2+ hours old.

Tried using the hamweather.net server instead. It is updating the METAR on-time. Only problem is, WD is not importing the reported humidity value into the main display. Any fix? Thanks.
