Feel free to test the updated zip

Default units should be read from $uoms
Possibility to set rain-unit from the unit-gear

Henkka, this is great. All the units are now working as defined by $UOM. Thanks for doing this.

There does appear to be one issue. For the last several days at the end of the Carousel Forecast, it is showing 14-plus inches of rain. This is far greater than it should be or what lastret.txt is showing. My webpage is here: http://tylertexasweather.com/ttwfcast4.htm and the current lastret.txt is here: http://tylertexasweather.com/lastret.txt

Thanks,

Steve

Mone is looking pretty good with the latest update but I can’t get the weather description to come up. Only says null.
You can see here: http://www.shermanctweather.org/ewn/wxsim/forecast.php
I’ve attached a copy of my lastret.txt
Thanks,
Tom

Great with a lastret.txt in US-units to test with
I allready found the 14+ inches issue.
Btw. enable relative humidity on WRET (dewpoint are else wrong)

Zip updated with fix for the inch-rain

Mone is looking pretty good with the latest update but I can't get the weather description to come up. Only says null. You can see here: http://www.shermanctweather.org/ewn/wxsim/forecast.php I've attached a copy of my lastret.txt

Could you post your plaintext.txt?

SteveFitz1 · 17 February 2017 20:38

Henkka,

I tried the latest update. The good news is that it did fix the excessive rain amounts. The bad news is that it broke the temperatures. It’s now taking the Farenheit temperature and assuming it is Celsius, then converting it to Farenheit. So my 66 degrees becomes 151 degrees. You’ll see it here: http://tylertexasweather.com/ttwfcast4.htm.

Also, there is a problem with the rain totals in the table. It appears the rain amount listed is for perhaps 1 hour when it should be a 12-hour total for either the day or night. For example, we are expecting rain Sunday and Monday. Currently the table is showing 0.01 in on Sunday, 0.03 in on Sunday night, and 0.01 in on Monday. What it should read is something like, for example, 0.25 in on Sunday, 0.75 in on Sunday night, and 0.25 in on Monday.

FYI, I’ve updated my WRET with humidity. You can see my current lastret.txt here: http://tylertexasweather.com/lastret.txt

Check the $uoms in config.php, seems to be metric.

SteveFitz1 · 17 February 2017 21:41

Henkka,

The $uoms looks correct to me.


#$uoms = array('C','mm','km/h','hPa','cm','km');
$uoms = array('F','in','mph','inHg','in','mi');

Hi Henkka,
Sorry late response, checked all Lat /Lon settings all correct.
I did some searching on the net and found those 2 scripts to be slightly flawed, also checked your site and TylerTexas (both showing incorrect Moon (Rise/Set) Times also.
Not sure what the answer is.

Also just noticed that UV is not utilized, would UV be difficult to add as it was in the 3in1.
Kind regards,

weatherc · 18 February 2017 20:23

The $uoms looks correct to me.

Yep. But source-code of http://tylertexasweather.com/wxsim-ewn/forecast.php have theese:


var snowset="cm",baroset="hPa",wiset="ms",piset="mm",tiset="c";

so it seems it reads them from some other file.

I did some searching on the net and found those 2 scripts to be slightly flawed, also checked your site and TylerTexas (both showing incorrect Moon (Rise/Set) Times also. Not sure what the answer is.

I haven’t “quality-chekced” them so it its fully possible. They was the only one i found for the moon-stuffs. I someone finds any better working with PHP will i happily do a switch.

Also just noticed that UV is not utilized, would UV be difficult to add as it was in the 3in1.

It shouldn’t be difficult. Why they are not there are that there are no UV-data in the EWN forecast-data so there was no UV-row in the orginal script + also that no UV at this time of the year up here so been difficult to test it.

Hi Henkka,
Not sure if I can help with an alternative script - I have used the following (attached: sunmoon.php.txt) in the past which is returns correct times, though not sure if you could adapt it.

Should return an array similar to this :

Array ( [solarNoon] => DateTime Object ( [date] => 2017-02-19 13:27:22.000000 [timezone_type] => 3 [timezone] => Australia/Hobart ) [nadir] => DateTime Object ( [date] => 2017-02-19
 01:27:22.000000 [timezone_type] => 3 [timezone] => Australia/Hobart ) [sunrise] => DateTime Object ( [date] => 2017-02-19 06:39:16.000000 [timezone_type] => 3 [timezone] => Australia/Hobart )
 [sunset] => DateTime Object ( [date] => 2017-02-19 20:15:29.000000 [timezone_type] => 3 [timezone] => Australia/Hobart ) [sunriseEnd] => DateTime Object ( [date] => 2017-02-19 06:42:19.000000
 [timezone_type] => 3 [timezone] => Australia/Hobart ) [sunsetStart] => DateTime Object ( [date] => 2017-02-19 20:12:26.000000 [timezone_type] => 3 [timezone] => Australia/Hobart ) [dawn] => DateTime
 Object ( [date] => 2017-02-19 06:09:18.000000 [timezone_type] => 3 [timezone] => Australia/Hobart ) [dusk] => DateTime Object ( [date] => 2017-02-19 20:45:27.000000 [timezone_type] => 3 [timezone]
 => Australia/Hobart ) [nauticalDawn] => DateTime Object ( [date] => 2017-02-19 05:33:00.000000 [timezone_type] => 3 [timezone] => Australia/Hobart ) [nauticalDusk] => DateTime Object ( [date] => 2017-
02-19 21:21:44.000000 [timezone_type] => 3 [timezone] => Australia/Hobart ) [nightEnd] => DateTime Object ( [date] => 2017-02-19 04:54:09.000000 [timezone_type] => 3 [timezone] => Australia/Hobart )
 [night] => DateTime Object ( [date] => 2017-02-19 22:00:36.000000 [timezone_type] => 3 [timezone] => Australia/Hobart ) [goldenHourEnd] => DateTime Object ( [date] => 2017-02-19 07:17:45.000000
 [timezone_type] => 3 [timezone] => Australia/Hobart ) [goldenHour] => DateTime Object ( [date] => 2017-02-19 19:37:00.000000 [timezone_type] => 3 [timezone] => Australia/Hobart ) ) 

Array ( [fraction] => 0.48381924324166 [phase] => 0.75515139425707 [angle] => 1.7675452111715 ) 

Array ( [moonrise] => DateTime Object ( [date] => 2017-02-19 00:08:07.000000 [timezone_type] => 3 [timezone] => Australia/Hobart ) [moonset] => DateTime Object ( [date] => 2017-02-19
 14:31:06.000000 [timezone_type] => 3 [timezone] => Australia/Hobart ) )

Also: That would be excellent if we could get the UV included, if it is on any assistance I have (attached my : lastret.txt) which always has ( UVI and S.IR ) here in Tasmania.

I have downloaded latest version and it’s mostly working. It can be seen here:
http://www.shermanctweather.org/ewn/wxsim/forecast.php

My only problem is I can’t get description to work. I’m not sure if that has anything to do with the folder “lang”.
My lastret can be seen here:
http://www.shermanctweather.org/lastret.txt

I haven’t really figured out where that folder “lang” comes from.
Thanks
Tom

BeaumarisWX · 18 February 2017 23:39

Hi Tom,

What seems to be missing is your “plaintext.txt” file, I see it is in same directory as your “lastret.txt” file, so the path to it must be incorrect in your other files.
The file “plaintext.php” In directory: …wxsim/wxsim/plaintext.php should be setup as per attached : so it finds the “plaintext.txt” file.
Unless of course you have modified the other scripts and changed the path structure for looking up “lastret.txt”
regards,

plaintext.php.txt (19.5 KB)

weatherbee · 19 February 2017 14:37

Tony,
My plaintext.txt file is in my root directory where my lastret.txt is also.
I copied your plaintext.php but it still doesn’t work. The only file I’ve changed is the config file.
I put a copy of the plaintext.txt in …wxsim/wxsim folder but no success.
I’m still confused.
Thanks for trying to help.
Tom

weatherc · 19 February 2017 19:40

My only problem is I can't get description to work. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with the folder "lang".

Thats really strange. Could you post your plaintext.txt and i can test here?
The descriptions have nothing to do with the lang-directory, plaintext-parser use the old good plaintext-parser*-files

Not sure if I can help with an alternative script - I have used the following (attached: sunmoon.php.txt) in the past which is returns correct times, though not sure if you could adapt it.

Thanks. I will give a run and see.

btw. UV-icons added to my dev-version.

Thanks Henkka =D>,

weatherc · 19 February 2017 21:59

The descriptions shows up OK on my dev: https://www.nordicweather.net/test/wxsim/forecast.php (note its a mix of my lastret, your plaintext and metric $uoms). Hmmm…

Zip updated with UV-icons and the new sunmoon-script.

weatherbee · 19 February 2017 22:22

Henkka,
Downloaded newest version, didn’t change anything but the path to your lastret.txt and still no description.

Tom

BeaumarisWX · 19 February 2017 23:24

Zip updated with UV-icons and the new sunmoon-script. :)

Hi Henkka, you are a legend, all works perfect strait out of the box. =D>

UV (tick)
Sunrise/Set (tick)
MoonRise/Set (tick)
Note: both sun and moon within 2 or 3 mins of say comparing against https://www.timeanddate.com/moon/australia/hobart more than happy with that, great stuff Henkka.
Only thing I need to do now is work out how to change the Moon Phase Icon from Northern to Southern Hemisphere (ie. reversed) but that is not an issue if I can’t.
Kind Regards,
