Is anybody's weather forecast skin working?
VClouds Weather 2 current conditions doesn't load for me. IllustroSimpleWeather isn't working either.
Both use weather.com.
I haven't found a skin that uses a different source that I like.
Thanks!

Re: Weather Skins
My wxdata (weather.com) skin is still working fine, so I suspect it is some regional issue on their end, that presumably will get straightened out.

Re: Weather Skins
It seems the wxdata xml - what I use also, is only partially working for my region, e.g. sunrise and sunset, along with the low and high temps. But nothing else is working at this time.jsmorley wrote:My wxdata (weather.com) skin is still working fine, so I suspect it is some regional issue on their end, that presumably will get straightened out.
I went through RegExp and it all *seems* to match still. Just not reporting through to Rainmeter for some reason.
jsmorley; your word clock/calendar is also not receiving incidentally.
I imagine there is simply some internet issue with Weather.com.

Re: Weather Skins
Like I said, the reason I am optimistic that this is a temporary issue in some regions, and not a change by weather.com, is that my skins, both my weather skin and the speaking clock skin, are working just fine for me.Mor3bane wrote:It seems the wxdata xml - what I use also, is only partially working for my region, e.g. sunrise and sunset, along with the low and high temps.

Having said that, I have to say that in my view the weather RSS / ATOM feed for weather.com, and in fact for any weather provider, is no longer anywhere near the top priority for them. I highly doubt that alarm bells go off and vice presidents are woken from their sleep if the RSS feed, which generates NO REVENUE to support itself, misbehaves. Subscription API's, which are what apps on your phone use, and the advertising-laden home web site for these companies are going to get the attention.

Re: Weather Skins
It is definitely a regional thing then, as i tested jsmorley's wxdata weather skin and my region still does not report.jsmorley wrote:....

This has happened before, but it resolved rather quickly. This time it seems that is not so.

Re: Weather Skins
I AM confused though since this:
http://wxdata.weather.com/wxdata/weather/local/ASXX0079?cc=*&unit=f&dayf=1
reports correctly in the xml, which is what we are reading. but still incomplete reporting?
jamorley, do you have any understanding why that may be?
I am just curious.
Could the xml have changed? My eyes go googly trying to see if anything has changed ;p

Re: Weather Skins
What you get in your browser is entirely different than what you get if you add Debug=2 to the WebParser parent measure and open WebParserDump.txt, or use RainRegExp. It is detecting a browser, and not returning XML.Mor3bane wrote:I AM confused though since this:

Re: Weather Skins
It has to be regional because this does not report the temperature here in CA.

Hopefully this will get fixed soon...

Re: Weather Skins
So it is not currently 101 degrees in Palmdale, CA, US ?Nitrotoxin wrote:It has to be regional because this does not report the temperature here in CA.

I think that is probably right. Weather.com only updates the RSS feed about once an hour, and the current conditions in Palmdale are 97 degrees. I can well imagine that up to an hour ago, it might well have been 101.
