Post by: WpgWeather on February 05, 2023, 01:03:16 PM

Anyone else having an issue with With the Saratoga scripts for Environment Canada not loading the correct data? Seems to be the case on the Demo script for certain locations as well?

it appears that my saratoga template is getting a current forecast, but my PWS_Dashboard is not.

Thanks for confirming that it isn't just me. I wonder if its a data problem on the other end as certain locations in the demo script seem to be working.

What is odd is the XML feed seems to be consistently up to date so I don't understand where the PHP is getting the Friday feed from.

I have a simple script that displays the XML in the RSS feed and that is current.

Deleted the files (ec-forecast-0-ab-52-s0000047-en.txt  , yours will be slightly different)from the cache folder and it seems to load with current values

I think I am going to wait until tomorrow to see if it fixes itself

Agreed, hopefully Monday morning some fixes the RSS feed and it all goes back to normal.

I just checked the demo scripts, They have updated with current  data

There appeared to be an issue with stale data from https://dd.weather.gc.ca/citypage_weather/xml/... .. the script uses that XML feed for weather conditions and forecasts and just formats what is in the RSS feed.

Yes, it was interesting to see how some cities seemed unaffected while many were. I wonder if they have an after-hours contact for when a failure like that occurs.
