I concur with NorCal Dan, its displaying the records, but mine is for tomorrow (Tuesday’s records) and not for today. This should be a quick fix.

Thank you Brian for adding this script from beteljuice to WD.

it might depend then on the time of day that you view it

@tbrasel: I looked at the NWS Page for Dan’s parameters and I don’t see it showing values for “Today”, only Tomorrow. Maybe you could check your NWS page too?

Dan’s pqr AST

If I am understanding correctly…here is my nws climo page…

https://w2.weather.gov/climate/index.php?wfo=tsa

FAYETTEVILLE ARKANSAS

At the bottom of the page is what is displayed in WD.

Your page is the same as Dan’s, it only has values for “Tomorrow”. My page as screenshot above also has values for “Today”:

I edited my post, that same area on my NWS page is showing yesterday.

Perhaps the values could be scraped from this page instead. This is the page I refer to when I want check official stats. It’s stable and doesn’t change based on time of day.

https://www.weather.gov/lwx/iadnme

This link is for my locale, IAD, Dulles Airport, Washington, D.C. but of course, you can choose your own area.

Just an idea.

Concur. Just checked mine and it shows:

THE ASTORIA OR CLIMATE NORMALS FOR TODAY
NORMAL RECORD YEAR
MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE (F) 65 84 1896
MINIMUM TEMPERATURE (F) 51 39 1966

This matches what WD is reporting…I will check it later this afternoon and see if the wording or numbers change…

[color=red]Add: Here’s what it shows now…

THE ASTORIA OR CLIMATE NORMALS FOR TOMORROW
NORMAL RECORD YEAR
MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE (F) 65 85 2006
MINIMUM TEMPERATURE (F) 51 41 1976[/color]

Update - today worked perfectly once the record was for only one year

FYI - I’m getting data but as luck would have it the high temperature was 92 on this day in both 1943 and 1907. Its messing up my minimum temp and year as its saying 1950 @ 59 degrees. It should be 1931 @ 44 degrees. We will see what tomorrow shows.

$WUmaxtempr = ‘91.9’; // Todays record max temperature from the selected Wunderground almanac station
$WUmintempr = ‘59.0’; // Todays record min temperature from the selected Wunderground almanac station
$WUmaxtempryr = ‘1943’; // Year that it occured
$WUmintempryr = ‘1950’; // year that it occured

THE WORCESTER MA CLIMATE NORMALS FOR TODAY
NORMAL RECORD YEAR
MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE (F) 77 92 1943
1907
MINIMUM TEMPERATURE (F) 59 44 1931

It happened again that the hi temperature is recorded on 2 separate years and it messes up low temp record as well as the norm temp. Is there any plan to scrub the second date if there is more than one year with the same recorded temp? My avg temp for today is stating 1964 degrees on my site. Seems warm 8)

This is happening a lot more than I would have thought

Thanks as otherwise it

yes, I should be able to fix that
what are you settings that you are using?

Hi Brian
Under weatherunderground almanac I have the checkbox enabled with WFO as BOX and the SID as ORH It works perfectly unless there is a record tied for 2 separate years.

You can see in the attached pic the record max temp being the same for 2 different years is messing up the fielding. I’m sure it happens also for the minimum temp but haven’t noticed it yet.

below are the values in my testtag.php that are wrong because of the tied record years:
$WUmaxtemp = ‘78.0’; // Todays average max temperature from the selected Wunderground almanac station
$WUmintemp = ‘1913.0’; // Todays average min temperature from the selected Wunderground almanac station
//
$WUmaxtempr = ‘94.0’; // Todays record max temperature from the selected Wunderground almanac station
$WUmintempr = ‘60.0’; // Todays record min temperature from the selected Wunderground almanac station
$WUmaxtempryr = ‘1964’; // Year that it occured
$WUmintempryr = ‘1968’; // year that it occured

From the NWS:
THE WORCESTER MA CLIMATE NORMALS FOR TOMORROW
NORMAL RECORD YEAR
MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE (F) 78 94 1964
1913
MINIMUM TEMPERATURE (F) 60 42 1936

Thanks,
John


I should be able to fix that
just need to find the spare time

Thanks Brian. I loaded it and will let you know if I see any issues.
