Request for WU Android App PWS Barometer Fix

Please fix pressure for PWS in your Android app - It needs to show barometer pressure in hundredths not tenths using inHg. Not precise enough now. You have the data why are you cutting it off? This messes up mb conversion by a couple mb at times. This should be an easy fix. Just show inHg barometric pressure with two decimal places and that will fix the mb conversion. It shows up fine with two decimal places on the web, unfortunately not on the Android app.

Makes no sense how now WU has limited inHg to only show 3 digits (xx.x) but mb is kept at 5 digits (xxxx.x). Even when using inHg with 4 digits it is not as precise as mb with 5 digits which is why I prefer mb. This is why it is strange how WU has made an already poor unit of measurement even worse.

* mb = millibars = hpa

Since we are discussing units and significant number of digits the website could also use a little help here. On the website whenever the the pressure ends in .0 or even say .10 it cuts off the last 0. If a measurement was done to a certain level of precision then those zeros are important, they shouldn't be dropped. Because when it is dropped then one can assume that the level of precision isn't there. So 30.10 inHg is not the same thing as 30.1 inHg. Same thing happens in your graphs when you mouse over data. Please stop dropping significant zeros.

This barometric pressure issue is still not fixed on the Android app. But it was recently fixed on the website. It now correctly displays all significant digits. Thank you for fixing the website. Please don't forget about the Android app. On the app this fault causes conversion issues when displaying millibars (mb or hpa).

UPDATE: NOPE ....I spoke too soon. I saw it fixed for a minute and I saw 30.00 inHg ...but now I look and it is back to 30 inHg.....Arrrgh.

UPDATE 2: And now I see it again as 30.00 inHg.  Why can't it show all significant digits all the time???

Regarding the iOS log-in issue, I can confirm the issue appears fixed. Login successful on all my iOS devices. Thank you!

App appears to be working now but I still can't get my PWS issue resolved, just tried to send an email again and got the same error.

Thanks I sent him a message.

Anyone know what happened to the WU PWS upload specification?   It used to be posted on the WU site below, but is gone now.

Seeing you have a Raspberry Pi this page might be helpful:
https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects/uploading-weather-data-to-weather-underground/6

Knowing how much has changed since the tomb raiders arrived, I'm not sure the HTML upload process still works. On a positive note, I haven't had to push data for quite a few months. I use a little Excel app I put together that pulls the details from MSSQL, formats the HTML strings, and ultimately walks the list and pushes the data to WU.

YMMV

Yes, thanks. I followed the examples from RaspberryPi.org and my weather station is uploading to WU using HTTP GET commands.  But, I need to add "accumulated precipitation" data to my uploads which is not mentioned in the Pi examples. 

Apparently the entire WU Wiki has been lost, which includes the upload specification guide.

For precip I am using ...'&rainin=#.##&dailyrainin=#.##'... where "#.##" is your current reading (0.00 is the default).

Edit: This page seems to provide all the necessary arguments (https://s.campbellsci.com/documents/us/miscellaneous/blog-resources/wunderground.dld)

Many times when I go to check a daily video from my webcam, I get an error stating that the stream cannot be found. for instance Oct 1 and 3 play the video but Oct 2 gives the error.

[wunderground-PWS]

The PWS spec can be found here now

Tomorrow will be 2 minutes 5 seconds shorter

should this number be getting smaller as we go to  dec 22   ???  in  today forecast screen

Tomorrow will be 2 minutes 4 seconds shorter yep I think is working ok

I was looking at my webcam log and it looks like ftp server 54.148.11.142:21 is down again - for 3+ weeks since 9/13/2018.  Maybe disk full again?  The other 2 ftp servers are working fine.

I am a paid member to avoid the ads.  Now seeing the ads.  I logged out thinking that I needed to renew the login to remove the ads.  Now cannot login.  The login just comes back to the login page with no errors.

Test from other computer or other browser, to see if it is problem with account or your computer.

In Chrome try holding down Control key and click Refresh. (forces full page reload while ignoring cache)

You can also try erasing browser cache.

Also make sure you aren't using a saved bookmark for logging in. Type out www.wunderground.com manually into browser address bar. Sometimes links change on websites and you may be using a non-working old link.

If that doesn't work try Forgot password reset.

Login issues are fixed.

I haven't been seeing the 10 day forecast for two days.  Today and Hourly Forecast show up fine...

[wunderground-PWS]

Link?

Have you tried incognito or clearing cookies?

Inexplicably it's working today - this is the link: https://www.wunderground.com/forecast/us/md/new-windsor/KMDNEWWI3?cm_ven=localwx_10day .

Thanks.

And now it's not again.

I know that it's a lower priority than those with PWS issues, but is the " 'Missing Mapbox GL JS CSS' error" ever going to be corrected. 2 identical PCs, one has error and the other doesn't, so I have one on only for checking Wundermap.

[jpage]

The WunderMap loads with a blank, light blue screen with all my Windows laptops and desktops.  The navigation/menu panel on the right loads fine. (running Chrome on Windows 7 at the moment, but same on Windows 10).  Interestingly, I've seen this several times on the Storm Android app, where a light blue background screen loads with no map, radar, etc showing.

Mine's been like that since June 18, was showing Missing Mapbox error, the error notice is gone but still just blue screen, identical PC hooked up right next to it has Wundermap working fine, and I have tried every fix or workaround, no joy.

This is similar to another issue I had and related to the cookie string being passed to the web page. I just looked at my wundermap and it too was light blue. However, after changing a couple of the input values I got it to display. The sad part is, the zoom on the wundermap is now totally fouled up. As you zoom in and out, random stations appear and disappear. Here are the values I changed:

&groupHurricane=0&groupFire=0&groupCamsPhotos=0 (changed =1 to =0 in all three cases). If this doesn't work, try other =# values, you might get lucky.

YMMV

Update: 10/11/18 - I was able to login today.  Not sure what happened, but it is working for me now.

I see that several people have commented they cannot login in via the WU mobile app.  I have the same issue.  I purchased a new iPhone XS Max on Saturday and have not been able to get logged in.  It keeps telling me; "Sorry, there was a problem connecting".  I have deleted and re-installed the app twice, performed the "Forgot Password" process, but nothing seems to work.  I'm logged in on my iPad and my PCs, just not the new phone.

I have submitted a ticket to WU, waiting to hear back.  If anyone has a tip on getting past this issue please let me know.

Welcome to the forum...
Return the iPhone and get an Android. ....   Nah ...just kidding!
WU employees recently chimed in saying all login issues had been resolved. I guess maybe not.
As a temporary solution you could sign in to WU on the iPhone using the browser instead of the app. Yeah not the same thing, but at least it is something.
