Title: WU-Forecast.php change in "C" to "F"
Post by: avoorpool on September 27, 2012, 07:00:51 PM

Hi,

I'm using WU-Forecast.php with forecast_wu.php in the Weather Blues template.
For 5 - 6 weeks, the display has been OK.
Suddenly, "out-of-the-blue" it has changed from "C" to "F" display, while nothing has been edited, changed or altered (it happened overnight).
Has anybpdy seen the same problem??
(I assume it has nothing to do with Weather Blues, rather than a "hick-up" in Wundergrounds data transfer).
Please let me know,

Thanks,

Arthur

Yes, I've noticed the same thing. I guess WU is playing silly buggers :/
I wonder if Saratoga can work some magic. I'll see if I can track him down :)

Thanks 'Uncle-Bob',

Glad to hear I'm not the only one :)
Please let me know if you hear something in regards to a solution.

Cheers,

Arthur

Sadly, this is not a thing the WU-forecast script can fix.  WeatherUnderground is currently posting English language with imperial units in the text forecast area of their page, irrespective of language or units selection.  It is a bug with their website and has to be fixed by them.

I did open a trouble ticket with WU on 27-Sep-2012 (the day the change happened on the WU website), and sent a follow-up message to John Cenlenza at WU (who I've contacted before).

I've not heard from either WU support or John yet .. hopefully they'll resolve the issue shortly.

Best regards,
Ken

Cheers Ken.

I did have a poke around on the WU site but I couldn't find any ticketing system or such.

Thanks again for looking into this!

Hi,

Thanks Ken for  looking into this.
I just checked my site, and it seems to be back to normal ("C" for Temp and km/h for wind speed).

Obviously, WU has found (or changed) it recently.

Cheers,

Arthur

I concur. It's great "knowing" what the temp is again :)
