My dashboard history takes me to Chamblee, GA
« on: December 04, 2024, 04:52:15 PM »
Hello again,
My dashboard history tab takes me to Chamblee, GA history :shock:
https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/us/ga/alto/KPDK

Anyone come across this? I know WU has issues, but I never used it with a PWS before today.
Thanks

No one is having this issue?
Should I take it that the issue is just me?
Just wondering

I never noticed that before because I never clicked on History. But from my weather station, https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNCCLAYT275, when I click on Forecast for Clayton, the URL is https://www.wunderground.com/weather/us/nc/clayton/KNCCLAYT275. When I click on History from that link, I get the history for "Morrisville, NC Weather History", which is Raleigh-Durham Airport, https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/us/nc/clayton/KRDU, which is in Morrisville, NC.

For TRC1961, his history is from Dekalb Peachtree Airport in Chamblee, GA.

So I guess WU uses the nearest airport at that history link instead of the PWS.

Hello All,
Sorry for the delayed reply...booted up the pc this morning with a 3Tb data drive chattering away like a machine gun!!!
Finally booted, hi-temp warnings, backing up from the past 5 hours. New drive coming Sunday.

Sorry, I should of said where I'm at.
I assume that my WU ID KAALTO25! Sorry, this is all new to me, but learning quick \:D/

https://www.wunderground.com/weather/us/ga/alto/KGAALTO25
From here is the issue.

There are no tabs at my "Personal Weather Station Dashboard".

I've had this happen when I was not a member, visiting stations in the area and thought it was because of that.
Being new, I was exploring what membership at WU had to offer.
And I have been lurking here at WU for at least 10-15 years. Just ditched my 4th 5 - 1.

Anyways...just wondered if this issue is par for the course at WU, or just me?

Thanks for help on this.

As I said in my previous post, the "History" link you have shown displays the history for the nearest airport, not your weather station. Let me reexplain graphically.

The link to my weather data is https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNCCLAYT275 and there are no tabs at the top:
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

If I click on "Forecast for Clayton" it take me to https://www.wunderground.com/weather/us/nc/clayton/KNCCLAYT275 that has the History tab, which one would assume is the history for their weather station, but it's actually for the nearest airport, in my case Raleigh-Durham (RDU):
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

This is the URL for the history tab: https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/us/nc/clayton/KRDU that shows it's for RDU:
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

The history for your weather station is halfway down the page at https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KGAALTO25:
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Hope this helps.

Good explanation, @weatherdoc. One more thing: when you go to "Forecast for Clayton" from your KNCCLAYT275 dashboard the "Today" tab actually shows your data.

If you click on "Change" you get a list of local stations, as attached, that you can use instead: yours is shown as Current Station on the right. But the History tab always seems to take you to Raleigh-Durham.

Yes, totally understand [tup]
I thank you all in explaining what's going on here.
I was expecting to see my station "History"
Thanks again.

I agree - I would've expected to see my station's history in that tab as well. Not sure why WU does it that way. I don't typically look at WU anyway, just post my data there. I have four history webpages on my own website, https://wxdoc.info, with charts, stats, and tabular data.
