Can you please post a screenshot of the module doing this (something I want to check)?

Also, what are the METAR and Weather.com codes for your location?

Ok, glad you pointed this out, as it brought to my attention that NOOA has permanently moved the URL for getting METAR weather data. As such, the only data being displayed is currently being solely retrieved from Weather.com.

Here is what EVERYONE needs to do:

1. Right click on the Weather Module.
2. Select Weather Module Settings in the context menu that pops up.
3. Click the Advanced button.
4. Change the METAR Source URL from

http://weather.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/mgetmetar.pl?cccc=

to

http://weather.noaa.gov/mgetmetar.php?cccc=

This change will also be made automatically by the next release.

Hi Jorge. I changed it but everything stayed the same. From the beginning I had to search the net for the code(s) and manually enter them.

BTW, I didn't get a reply from this thread. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3952 I sent you a PM with my code around the time the thread was posted. Just thought about it. I'll resend it in case it's deleted.

Hope we're not overworking you too much! :)
