[weewx-user] Re: Forcast Problem
Thankyou for replying. I think that I may have forecat working now, how ever I have not been able to add it to the standard skin, despite following instructions on the wilki page and searching this group. Can some kind person post some example code so I may do it. Or better still a complete Standard skin folder with forcast correctly setup.

mike,
what do you see when you enter this url in your web browser:
http://datapoint.metoffice.gov.uk/public/data/val/wxfcs/all/json/2337?res=3hourly=XXX
substitute your apikey for XXX
i get this:
{"SiteRep":{"Wx":{"Param":[{"name":"F","units":"C","$":"Feels Like
Temperature"},{"name":"G","units":"mph","$":"Wind
Gust"},{"name":"H","units":"%","$":"Screen Relative
Humidity"},{"name":"T","units":"C","$":"Temperature"},{"name":"V","units":"","$":"Visibility"},{"name":"D","units":"compass","$":"Wind

Type"},{"name":"Pp","units":"%","$":"Precipitation
Probability"}]},"DV":{"dataDate":"2017-01-02T17:00:00Z","type":"Forecast"}}}
which is an empty forecast.
what do you see when you enter this url:
http://datapoint.metoffice.gov.uk/public/data/val/wxfcs/all/json/3772?res=3hourly=XXX
this is the forecast for london. you should get valid json with the london
forecast.
you cannot simply enter random urls in weewx.conf - of course that will
"throw many error"
the syntax for the UKMO section is:
[[UKMO]]
location =
where is a valid location code, such as 3063 for aviemore.

Thanks for replying, Sadley I'm still not able to get it to work. I have installed the latest version today. Has any one managed to get to work from the UK metoffice if so please can the post how the set it up. My API key works and I tried it using the web page suggest. I also copied it into the config, so it looks as below. [[UKMO]] enable = true # An API key is required to access the UK Met Office forecasts. # Create an account and obtain datapoint access here: http://datapoint.metoffice.gov.uk/public/data/val/wxfcs/all/json/03772?res=3hourly=## # The location is one of the 5,000 or so locationIDs in the UK # location = London # How often to download the forecast, in seconds interval = 10800 This brings up HEATHROW but throw many error. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.

[weewx-user] Re: Forcast Problem
A silly question - but have you checked that 2337 is a valid location ID for the forecast type being selected?
