Weather Underground and Weather Displays' Weathermap

Hello,

Seems WU isn’t quite happy with their data formatting as a recent change (within the last several days)
has borked WD’s Weathermap feature.

Using the default URL for a station IE: wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=KMDELLIC3
refuses to update the weathermap. Dropping back to the classic URL, Local Weather Forecast, News and Conditions | Weather Underground,
isn’t any better.

Is anyone aware of these changes?

Regards,

My WD mesomap isn’t working either. It seems as if WD will only collect the 00:00 time.

I’m also having the same problem.

what /where/how?
need more details…

See screen shot link below @ 19Z today from the WD WeatherMap Setup after I clicked on Update Now. The observations are from 10/29/11 00:00:00 with a couple at 06. Looking at Weather Underground for the stations the data is up to date.

so some are working and some are not?

I think I will wait a few days to see if wunderground makes any more changes

is there a xml data feed…for a selected station?

I would say that WD is only picking up on observations around 00 and 06.

As far as I know there’s not any xml feeds for any of the stations.

XML feed for my weather stations is http://api.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXCurrentObXML.asp?ID=KWVHARPE4

From my site, KMDELLIC3, I see two:

Current Conditions:

Daily Observations:

And for me:

a new .zip update of WD is ready now, that uses the XML format now
there is also an updated Ftpupd.exe, as the URL has changed
note, I have lost the arrow images…will try and found them on a back tomorrow…have used some replacements for now…

Thanks for the quick fix. Update is working great! :smiley:

Yep. Looking good. Thanks for the great support Brian.
