It's FINALLY here! The new PWSweather.com website!
« on: February 17, 2020, 07:11:51 PM »
Many of you have been waiting many months or even years for a new version of PWSweather.com.  Well the public beta of PWSweather.com is now available!  There are still some bugs to work out (especially with the ever troublesome precipitation).  But the team is committed to addressing the ones which have been found over the last decade or so.  You can link to the new site from the old one.  But the direct link is...

https://beta.pwsweather.com/

In the green bar at the top of the pages is a link to "Tell us what you think. >"  PLEASE submit any issues you see.

The new site not only includes PWSweather.com stations but also METAR and MADIS.  Also you can select overlays for radar, satellite and alerts.

Thanks for your patience.  We're hoping everyone thinks it was worth the wait.

I see you have the CWOP stations already is there any reason to also enable PWS on Cumulus?

I'm sure it's my incompetence, but I can't see any wx stations, none.

I like the look, and after a bit of looking am able to get around quite well.Likely because it is beta, but noticed only one of my stations is currently showing - F2530I have two stations on the original PWSweather:KOMOKA D3930 which still has data showing from Jan 2011 (not showing on map)
KOMOKA2 F2530 which has data since March 2018 (showing on map)
Enjoy,Paul

Can you expound some on the "AerisWeather Contributor Plan"? I see this mentioned near the bottom of the beta home page. However, I don't see any details in FAQs or on the Aeris Weather site? Just wondering what the specifics of this plan are.

By the way, I really like the look of the beta site!

Viewing on "Edge" … Looks really nice, I like it. On IE, seems to be several problems, also doesn't render well on my mobile device...certain things look to be missing. Also need tenths on the temps in the tabular view. I know its beta so these problems should be worked out.

Looking very nice. Thank you for the great work. I see a lot to like.

As mentioned, I second request to display decimal degrees for temp and dew point in the tabular view.

Please also add tenths decimals to metric barometric pressure (everywhere).

There seems to be a bug in Daily Summary section, when you select graphs, then nothing shows up for that section.

Please add yearly summary graphs and tabular view. This is something that WU also took away. This is something that you have in the existing site.

It would be nice to see wind vane for direction and speed on map.

Please use the link at the top of the pages to submit your bug reports and other requests.  That way they get into our support system so we can track requests and responses and reply directly to you to let you know of work on the issue you report or if we need further information.  I can't guarantee what is entered in this forum will make it over to the PWSweather.com support system.

Website Feedback does not work. Tells me that Captcha failed. The problem is that I don't see the Captcha on the page. There is no sign of the Captcha anywhere.

Yes, I'm using that link. The trouble is that attempting to click on the submit button after filling out the form and it results in a Captcha error. The problem is that there is no Captcha on the page visible to deal with.

I'm using Chrome on Android 9 Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 tablet.

Error:
Quote

Captcha verification failed. If you are not a robot, please refresh the page.

Atempting to refresh the page then clears the filled out form fields. Back to square one. Can't submit feedback.

I'm not sure why you're being asked for a CAPTCHA.  I just tried it on Chrome on my laptop and never got that.  Also we've had a number of other requests come through there.  I'll report it to the developers.

Don't see users digging down for data. Maybe I'm wrong I guess it serves some purpose for someone just not my cup of tea. Bye

I took a look at it and when I went logged out and went back to my original page it was messed up.  The map on the right side for my location is now all black.  No map.    This happens on my tablet and computers that didn't even access the beta page.  Also a large blue full page "greater than" sign on top of my original page so I had to scroll down to see my stuff.   I know it's beta but it shouldn't mess with the original page.

* Update - Maps started to work the following day

I also received the CAPTCHA error when submitting feedback via FireFox. After refreshing the page and re-entering everything, the submission worked correctly.

I sent in my comments.  Captcha said it failed first attempt, but submitted anyway for some reason.  After that, it seemed fine.  My suggestions are:
Include temperatures to the tenth of a degree, especially when looking at historical tables.
Include barometric pressure to the tenth of a mb too.
Include a way to view the historic table in a text only format.
Include an ability to switch times to 24-hour format.
Fix the typo for kilometres per hour.  It should be km/h, not kph.
