Weather description: overcast and gloomy

This morning I saw this weather description: Dry/Overcast and gloomy but the sky was blue with some high clouds.

Does anyone know how WD generates this message.

This afternoon, the sky was overcast and gloomy (see sky webcam image) but I had the sun behind a cloud icon with text: “Dry”

This should be the reverse. If I knew how to set this up, could I correct it?

Thanks all. #-o

Do you have a solar sensor or do you use a metar to set sky conditions? If you use solar then you can set the descriptions for each percent range of wm/2 versus the expected as shown for each level in the solar setup. The max solar is based on your lat/long settings in WD so ensure those are correct.

If you use a metar than it will be the conditions reported at the metar site. Depending on how close the metar station is from your location will determine how accurate the conditions are for your specific location. The farther away the metar station the greater the possibility that the conditions will not match your locale.
