Subject: Where is the weather or not script getting its temperature info
from?

 

Hi,

 

I've been a bit suspicious about the accuracy of the temperature info coming
from the weather or not script.  I just checked the Fairbanks temp for local
time 4:00 am, today.  They report a temperature of 37 below zero with clear
skies.

 

The weather or not scripts says:

Fairbanks, AK
Temperature: -28.8 F

Humidity:  74%
Pressure: 29.83in
Conditions:  Clear
Wind Direction:  West
Wind Speed: 0.0mph

The temp is off by 8 degrees if you round it off.  Yes, I know it's cold,
but it's still off by 8 degrees.  So where is the weather or not script
getting it's data.  The Alaska weather line is being hourly updated for
Fairbanks, (907) 458-3745.

 

Currently, at 7:00 am local time, today, the NOAA weather service reports
the Chicago temperature as 24 degrees, at O'Hare.  However the weather or
not script says:

 

Chicago, IL
Temperature:  26.7 F

Humidity:  78%
Pressure: 30.44in
Conditions:  Light Snow
Wind Direction:  NW
Wind Speed: 4.0mph

So, rounding off, we are off by 3 degrees.  Both instances, Fairbanks and
Chicago, we are on the high side with weather or not script.

 

So where is the script getting its data from.  Can this be chosen by the end
user?  Why the discrepancy?

 

Thanks for any info you can provide.

 

Best,

Steve
