Re: [weewx-user] Forecast V3.4.ob2 Problems

['John Kline' via weewx-user]

Hi Phil, I just pushed an v4.0 update to weewx-forecast that adds support for UK Met Office Datahub forecasts. You’ll need to sign up for a Global Spot API key.  It’s in the Site Specific section.  The free plan should work for you as 360 is plenty of calls. Global Spot        Free plan should- 360 calls/day The location parameter in the UKMO section is no longer used.  Rather, a forecast is returned for the latitude and longitude of the station.  If you want a forecast of something other than that, you can specify latitude and longitude in the UKMO section. The new forecasts support more data than the old, so more items will show up in the sample forecast reports.
