Noaa style reports

Forgive the me asking what may be obvious to everyone but will someone point me to the method of displaying noaa style reports for my station’s weather over a period of time? I would like to include an option on the webpage that would allow an interested viewer to look at data for a given day(s) or week or month. The month option satisfies the prior two choices so the first two are not real important. A comparison with a previous period is not essential as they could look at the data separately.

I thought it used to be one of the drop down menu items created in station.htm but can’t find it. It may be that I need to do something in the web page setup screen but again I can’t find the option.

cayman,

Take a look here: www.thanko.info. I’ve got several pages that may do what you want.

Tim,

Thanks for the link.

The relevant choices under “weather” would do exactly what I have in mind.

What files do you use to pull the data in from? It seems that the files are not necessarily automatically uploaded as some of the data does not display correctly.

You may need to spoon feed me some more as php is not a strenght in my arsenal.

Which pages in particular would you want more info about?

Those under “historical data”

Here is the code for one of the pages…


<?php

$page_title = "Climate Data - Current Month";
$keywords = "climate, data, walker, michigan, weather";

$filename = "climatedataout.html";
$handle = fopen($filename, "r");

//Read the contents of the file
$contents = fread($handle, filesize($filename));
fclose($handle);

//Trim everything after the initial body tag
$list = split("<body>", $contents, 2);
$contents = $list[1];

//Trim the ending body tag
$list = split("</body>", $contents, 2);
$contents = $list[0];

//Display the remaining contents
//
//include header here

include ('header.inc');
echo $contents;
//include footer here

?>

</body>
</html>

Thanks, let me think about it and see if I can follow.

Roger,

If I am reading this correctly there are two pieces to your puzzle.

One is creating NOAA style reports which you can do from WD under your View - Averages extremes - NOAA style reports last two tabs and then once they are being created then link them from a web page which is a HTML coding issue.

Here are my NOAA style reports:

Bob you have fully understood what I was trying to say.

My html or php skills are not good enough to create the drop down options for varying the month and year of the report.

I have identified the files that are created and uploaded now I just need to provide a means of displaying them at a viewers option.

Roger

I’m not sure if this is what you want or not, but you can see mine here www.chinookzone.ca/wx12.php.

I got the script from Ken at www.saratoga-weather.org It’s not too tough to put up for us html and php challenged types, plus Ken is very helpful

Chinookzone, this fits the bill exactly. I will take a look at Ken’s page for the script. Thanks

i have added a drop down menu to the date (month)stamped noaa reports which should get uploaded auto, now, to the averages/extremes page, in a recent update of wd

Chinookzone - I had a look at Ken’s page but don’t see the script.I wonder if he took it down?

Windy, I have downloaded the most recent version but am not sure how a viewer of a web page will access the data.

see the drop down at the bottom of this wd auto generated web page:
http://www.weather-display.com/windy/gb/weekrep.htm
(note its links to a noaa report that is year to date instead of month report, but that should be fixed next change in month

“So much to learn and so little time” is an expression that must have been written with WD in mind.

Nope.You’ll see it here http://saratoga-weather.org/scripts-NOAAtxt.php?#NOAAtxtPHP

It seems to be for the WeatherLink/VWS software rather than WD.

Woops, that’s correct. I’m sorry.

Ken has it to run off of one or the other. Like Ken, I use weatherlink as a data backup, so it worked great for me. Looks like the update for WD’s version will work fine too.

'tis true… the NOAA-reports.php script currently supports only WeatherLink and VWS NOAA climate reports for display.

I can look at adding support for the WD .htm NOAA style reports if you like…
Best regards,
Ken
