Hi Bob,
Thanks for your comments. I am glad that more people are finding my little program useful.
Also nice touch by integrating it into your charts page.

Hi Maek,
I finally figured out the correct smtp port number and name and now the test button does send the alarm messages. I am looking forward to get a message when I get an extreme condition
Again, very well done
Paul

Hi Mark,
Gone a little further and integrated some of the graphics into my "index.htm". I've added the Prediction icons, the Pressure, Beaufort, Wind Barb and Rain Beaker, plus a few other Cumulus Tags to complete the information.

Edit - Update
Have added popup charts from the Grabber to all the observation icons.

I have a question - sorry if it's already been addressed. The arrows around the 'H' pressure symbol are presumably intended to indicate the direction of the winds? If so, they go the wrong way, 'down under'. Not critical, I know, but I just thought I'd point it out in case there was an easy fix.

Hi Steve,
That’s a valid point. I will have a look into switching the arrow direction dependent upon where
the station is located. I may just put an option in the config screen so that the user can
select the northern or southern hemisphere.

Mark

I gave this some thought today after Steve's post and came to the same conclusion since realtime.txt doesn't contain coordinates.
By the way Mark, today was the first time the pressure went below the magic figure for my station and all work as designed. I'm quite enjoying the added graphics you little program has allowed me to use on my website.

Okay, I asked for it. Got a boatload of alert emails as I had set the temp alarm if below -10c and our record cold winter continues...

Hi Paul,
We have been quite lucky so far here in the UK, with a mild winter/spring so far.
I have set my Low Temperature Alert to Zero Deg C. and it has only triggered a few
times due to the mild weather.
