Using Metar Current Conditions at Night for Clouds and Icons

Hi tonight

I use WD.

Still trying to get everything working with these phantastic php Scripts. But now I think a last part not solvable for me. It's to get the right current conditions at night. I set up everything in WD according to Ken's screenshots and wonder if the following text is still valid:


--- Quote ---With the METAR and Solar both setup, you will have Daytime cloud cover estimated from your Solar Sensor, and Night time cloud cover from your nearby Metar. Weather-Display will override the icon/text description for your station's reports based on Rain, Fog or high Wind.
--- End quote ---

A look at https://meteo.widen-online.ch shows, that the conditions text is not complete according to Metar Report and the Icon is not as per Metar either.

If anybody has the time to help me it will be very much appreciated.

Have a nice NIGHT.

saratogaWX:
Which METAR are you using for WD conditions?  Is it LSZH?

jachen:
Exactly LSZH 18km from Home.

saratogaWX:
Check WD for how the LSZH Metar is fetched by WD. 

I just noticed that my own download for KSJC.TXT (and LSZH.TXT) returned only a .taf file using HTTP.

I switched (on the Metar Download panel) to use FTP and Passive FTP.  The Test then downloaded both .  Give that a try.

Feched as a perfect and correct txt and a met File.
