BT's Global Sager Weathercaster PHP Scripts For Cumulus

[odintheterrible]

Hi,
Mine's been like that too for a couple of days. I thought it was because our local airport has now closed and revert to sole use by the Spanish Airforce and so now doesn't have an ICAO code. I edited the code in the php file to use the code for our new regional airport, but it didn't make any difference ... so, I too am at a loss to explain what is going on.
For the time being I've reverted to the Cumulus forecast.
I hope it can be sorted.

Hi All,
I have just had a look at my weather website and I noticed that my weather forecast say's Forecast Unavailable, I have had a look at other peoples website and there's is doing the same.

Looks like it is working again.

None of those links are currently giving a forecast to me ...

Is there something changed in the METAR look-ups recently, and would that prevent a forecast ?

I've just looked at the code for the first time ....

The bt-sager.php is typically returning something like:

Code: Select all

12-24 Hour Forecast:
document.write ('Forecast Unavailable');Z13: Forecast Unavailable

The 'code' returned before the forecast should be in the format: A123 - so one or two entries missing from METAR decode.

In bt-sager-wc.php there is no fall-back for a METAR fail other than the general message you get.
METAR look-up has now changed subtly
Line #24

Code: Select all

curl_setopt ($metarwx, CURLOPT_URL, "http://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observations/metar/stations/$ms.TXT");

This should now be: "https://tgftp.????????????????

Yes, the secure server change in the web address was the culprit ... change made, and now it's all working again.
