Running NOAA Reports in MX

[Tigro11]

Hi Hans, usually especially in the hottest period, we analyze the averages of the current month and the month of the previous year to compare to what time there is the maximum temperature peak.
with the current method I have to wait for the next day

[HansR]

OK, but as the NOAA reports do not have a content change other than at rollover time, you could make a procedure yourself at realtime or ftp frequency, take the current temperature from the realtime.txt and do your own calculations. A high frequency NOAA report won't help you in what you want.
I don't think you can get anybody to change the definition of the NOAA reports.

[HansR]

And btw: you added this to a topic from 2017.
I think it might have been better to start a new topic.
I am not even sure you are in the right board but I leave that to Mark.

[Tigro11]

you're right, but I didn't want to open a duplicate

hi there

I just migrated from Cumulus 1 to Cumulus MX; everything is working fine but NOAA report.
I read a lot and I'm quite sure configuration is fine but I cannot find the folder where NOAA are saved to by Cumulus MX
In setting\NOAA UTF-8, auto save and auto ftp after save are flagged, on folder is selected (/NOAA-reports)

I moved my previous NOAA reports to the folder c:\cumulusMX\Reports; last NOAA report (December 2019) is not updated and is still at the date of software change (6 Dec)

Someone can help me to find out the NOAA folder where Cumulus MX save the files?

ps: this is my website
portosangiorgiometeo.altervista.org

You aren't letting your computer go to sleep overnight are you?

\Reports is the correct folder.

Switch on debug logging, wait until tomorrow and post your MXdiags folder.

thanks for your support, I find out something

I paste here the debug file line I think it's the one we are interested in:

2019-12-08 00:00:01.308 Creating NOAA monthly report for sabato 7 dicembre 2019
2019-12-08 00:00:01.402 Error at line 778 of dayfile.txt: Value was either too large or too small for an Int32.
2019-12-08 00:00:01.402 Please edit the file to correct the error
2019-12-08 00:00:01.467 Error creating NOAA reports: Negating the minimum value of a twos complement number is invalid.
2019-12-08 00:00:01.467 NOAA reports will be uploaded at next web update

I went throught the file line 778 and it seems normal to me (the line it's pretty similar of November 30th, of course I mean the format of figures).
But line 778 it's december the 1st, I think it's a signal: it's the first month working with Cumulus MX insted of Cumulus 1 (Cumulus 1 has been replaced on December 7th
Maybe it's something linked to , . ;??
I made some changes during the installation (as far as I remember replacing , with . in some .txt file), maybe I miss some steps?

Thanks in advance for your support, I owe a beer!

I think you need to post your dayfile, and zip up your MXdiags folder and post that too.

Hi there

sorry for late answer.
I'm posting both log file (20191212-215755.txt file) and dayfile.txt
About log file this is the last one, but looking at the previous files, error is always the same.

I post today.ini too, where the line NOAA are empy; I chechked the previous file in Cumulus1 and the lines where fullfilled by noaa report name file.

I hope you can find out how to help me, because I'm getting hopeless......

Thanks
Marco

today.ini

dayfile.txt

It looks like a problem in the code, most likely because Cumulus thinks you are in a location where the sun is up all day - but you are set to an Italian locale in Western Europe TZ?

Please check your lat/long settings - even if they are wrong and you correct them, can you post their current values so I can try and replicate the problem.

[pech]

You are right, I have such a problem too, but I was thinking this could not be related to NOAA

by web settings, I see latitued degrees 431925, then 0 in minutes and 0 in seconds
latitued is setted to -592563, minutes -14 and secondo -8
Obviousily such a figures are wrong.

I tried several times to change be web page, but I cannot. I change the figures, try to save but nothing happened.
I tried to modify cumulus.ini with correct figures, unfortunately Cumulus wa not starting anymore (I think I made mistake editing cumulus.ini)

[pech]

correct location is

N: 43° 11' 33'
E: 13° 47' 20'

Yes, you are right, I'm in Italy, Adriatic sea cost, more or less in the middle (Porto San Giorgio)

[mcrossley]

I'd set the lat/long values to zero, then set correctly via the admin interface

[mcrossley]

I'll add a range check on the lat/long fields in the next build.

[pech]

i will try right now
just leaving in cumulus.ini latitude and longitued empy, save and than correct via web interface or I have to delete LatTxt and LonTxt too by leaving them empty?
