I am in the process of upgrading my WeeWX installation and switching to the
Belchertown skin. Since you posted the steps for adding METARs to the
Seasons skin, I will post them for those using the Belchertown skin and
both will be here for anyone who searches the forum for "metar".
Augment Weewx station data with Metar reports obtained from
aviationweather.gov
Works with WeeWX v4.10.2 & Belchertown skin v1.3.1 on Raspbian Bullseye
(weewx package install)
1. Download a copy of weewx-metar from github
$ wget -c
https://github.com/danimaciasperea/weewx-metar/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
-O weewx-metar.zip
2. Unzip it and:
$ sudo cp metargenerator.py /usr/share/weewx/user
3. Add the following to weewx.conf under [StdReport] [[Belchertown]]
[[[CheetahGenerator]]]
search_list_extensions =
user.belchertown.getData,user.metargenerator.MyMetarSearch
[[[MetarReport]]]
refresh_interval = 5
[[[[KBOI]]]]
[[[[KONO]]]]
[[[[KEUL]]]]
[[[[KMEV]]]]
4. Create a .inc file in /etc/weewx/skin/Belchertown depending on where you
want to display the METARS on the main page
(see
https://github.com/poblabs/weewx-belchertown#add-custom-content-to-the-front-page):
$ sudo nano
/etc/weewx/skins/Belchertown/index_hook_after_forecast.inc
<p style="font-size:24px">METARs</p>
<table>
<tr>
<td style="padding:10px;vertical-align:top">$KONO_metar</td>
<td style="padding:10px;vertical-align:top">$KEUL_metar</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="padding:10px;vertical-align:top">$KBOI_metar</td>
<td style="padding:10px;vertical-align:top">$KMEV_metar</td>
</tr>
</table>
5. If you do not want to display TAFs along with the METARs, then edit
metargenerator.py and change this line:
url =
"https://www.aviationweather.gov/adds/metars?station_ids=%s+&std_trans=translated&chk_metars=on&hoursStr=most+recent+only&chk_tafs=on&submitmet=Get+Weather";
% (airport)
to tafs=off instead of tafs=on
