forecast is not correct WMR200

Post by mimo57 »

Hello,
I have a WMR200 station and I see the weather forecast is not correct between cumulus and station.
When the station says "Cloudy" or Partly Cloudy, cumulus gives as prediction "Fine weather" with a <# forecastnumber> 1.
If I believe cumulus, it's always sunshine at home.
Y is there a bug with the WMR200 in the forecast?
For now I disabled the box "Forecast" in the parameters of cumulus for a correct prediction, but the image does not correspond at all.
Thank you for the help

Sorry for my English, it is not the best.

If you turn off the Cumulus forecast in the station settings, you should get the station's forecast instead. Does that not work?

Hello,

yes, I get good forecasts of the station, but in English while with cumulus, they are Fr, and image of forecasts do not match with what is written.
A sun image to a forecast cloud or snow.
That's the problem.

thank you

Sorry, I don't understand; Cumulus doesn't do images for forecasts, just text.

If your complaint is simply that the Cumulus forecast is wrong, please read http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/FAQ#Cumulu ... t_wrong.21

Now you are using your wx forecast, the <#forecastnumber> which is used in the template by Jaques to display the graphic is meaningless !

There is NO connection between wx forecast and <#forecastnumber>.

It would be better (?) if you can adjust the range of the Cumulus forecast if required.

BTW - 'Fine' does not mean sunny, it means no chance of rain ;)

Yes, okay, cumulus does not generate an image, but there is a variable <# forecastnumber> which is in adequacy with <# forecast. "
Which displays an image in the template of Jacques

But the biggest problem is why forecasts Cumulus do not match those of the station?
Sun to cumulus and cloud or rain to the station.

Your forecast from Cumulus is currently "Settled Fine". The Accuweather forecast for Orny is here: http://www.accuweather.com/en/fr/orny/1 ... ast/154863
Orny Weather - AccuWeather Forecast for Lorraine France - Google Chrome_2012-01-31_17-46-02.png
What's the problem with that?

What you see on the station is, if the pressure goes up, the sun.
And if the pressure goes down, rain.
You can’t call that a forecast.

Cumulus does it better. :)

Simply turned off by what I forecast that Cumulus and posted on the web are those of the station.

PS: I just reactivate Cumulus forecasts, but as we have established a high pressure, we will not see anything.

Yes, but when the station announced rain, and Cumulus "Sun" is that it does not work too well .. What I think :)

Your graphs say you've had no rain for several days - That's what I think :lol:

If you mean the station, yes you are right.

This is not the case.
I have two stations, and they both tell me the same forecast.
Cumulus is always "Settled fine."
So the WMR200 is not working well .... I doubt.
Probably a misconfigured setting, but which one?

No it’s not a setting.
The station (s) forecast is as I mentioned before, it only reacts on pressure.
If the pressure goes up you see the sun, and if the pressure goes down you see clouds and rain.
That’s all, and that is why two stations tell you the same thing.

But that is not a real forecast.

Meteo France provides this week in my sector, "Snow" and "cloudy".
The pressures are spent within 24hrs of 1030hpa to, 1020hpa, and my station it is posted "snowflakes". Cumulus Yet, it displays me a beautiful "Fine weather".
Really, I do not understand the management of forecasts Cumulus ....
