New Weather station index

A day off work (holiday, not ill) with a good dose of Pink Floyd thrown in, and I’ve added a new index of weather stations to the weather-watch.com bookmarks listing. If you go to http://www.weather-watch.com/site/component/option,com_bookmarks/Itemid,56/mode,0/catid,247/navstart,0/search,*/ you’ll see the list.

At the moment it only lists stations providing clientraw.txt data to the MML server. Next job is to modify it so that it also adds Amatuer METAR data providers as well. Unfortunately it can only include stations which provide data to the MML system (I’m re-using data rather than building something from scratch), but if you’re not already providing data to MML, here’s your chance to do so :wink:

The stations are indexed by country and I’ve updated the country for some stations to test the index. If your country/station isn’t there yet, just log into the MML Management Centre (http://wxd.weather-watch.com/mml_sys/) and modify your clientraw.txt collection information. You’ll see there’s a new field to set your country. Just update that and then wait for a while for the next indexing run and your country/station will appear. The indexing run isn’t fully automatic yet, but soon will be.

I’ve updated all the countries for the current set of clientraw.txt providers, so the index has all of those stations in now.
