I don't think this is anything to do with Cumulus - perhaps something you are using on your web site? If you could give more information about where you see this message, someone may be able to help.

is this your site? it has similar issues.

http://www.weerstationduffel.be/wxmetar.php

showing the METAR Reports not loading correctly.

That is the symptom of having an older get-metar-conditions-inc.php script. It was updated in July, 2016 to address the issue of the NWS closing down the weather.noaa.gov website (from which the METAR info was obtained).

Also, 'KSJC' is the local METAR for San Jose, California -- if that's not your location, you should change it to a METAR near you to have your conditions display be more accurate (after you update the get-metar-conditions.php script, that is).

Run (on your Saratoga template) check-fetch-times.php?show=versions to see which files need update, and get a helpful link to get a customized update package for your installation.

Thanks all, and thanks for the advice Ken, The website is priorysc.org.uk and we are based in Bedford, UK, it was working fine upto last week so not sure what has changed but I will get someone who knows about php to do this. We are now having php/wordpress issues displaying still pictures from the webcams.

whats the url of your weather station website?

whats the url of your weather station website?

The issue is two-fold:

First in /Weather/Settings-weather.php you have

Code: Select all

$SITE['conditionsMETAR'] = 'KSJC';  // set to nearby METAR for current conditions icon/text

and the KSJC is actually the METAR code for San Jose, California.. not your local METAR I think.
Use http://saratoga-weather.org/wxtemplates/find-metar.php to locate a METAR near you, and update Settings-weather.php with that value.

Second, running /Weather/check-fetch-times.php?show=versions shows that there are multiple scripts that need updates.. the one causing your problem is get-metar-conditions.php V1.13 which needs to be updated to V1.14 to work again .. it uses the new website location for METAR information after the NWS has decommissioned weather.noaa.gov and www.nws.noaa.gov websites.

Best regards,
Ken

p.s. this thread should be located in the Saratoga templates forum
