*** closed*** HWS Template (WD34) Wish List

Nice. Can’t wait to add this one

I really like the w34 template and aside from weather statements/watches/warnings being highlighted on the page with a link to the actual text, I can’t think of anything missing right now. I like the small, compact nature of the page with everything visible and updating on the fly. Simple and elegant and all weather…thanks for your work on this project Wim.

Another vote for having a snow total block. Thanks

I am not sure if there will many other users wanting this, so i understand if it doesn’t make it in, but a weather alert/warning for Australia?

Possible source could be,

http://www.bom.gov.au/rss/?ref=ftr

A reflection:
Is there at least one website in Australia which uses these scripts as its prime website?

You yourself have a Saratoga website http://www.micklehamweather.com/ as your prime site.
All visitors arrive there. It has a link with flashing

Hi Wim,

Just wondering, what is the advantage of using and old version and not using the new “HWS-template for WD”-version which urgently needs users to test and report errors?

Without an active user-base any script, so also this version will fail to survive.

The link to the older version has been there for a quite a while (maybe a year or so), so it is not technically ‘new’!

To be honest with you I didn’t think to update the link to the new WD version (just forgot about it really) - I will look to do this hopefully later tonight.

The Demo site now reflects a Canadian user. I try to test the new EC alert- and forecast-scripts.
The EC scripts display the original forecast data in French and English only. All visitors which choose another language, will see the English version.
I did not include the language translation on purpose for now as I can not find the documentation of all texts used. English forecast:

Tonight
Cloudy. 40 percent chance of flurries early this evening. Clearing near midnight. Wind becoming northwest 20 km/h early this evening. Low minus 31. Wind chill minus 30 in the evening and minus 43 overnight. Risk of frostbite.
Monday
Mainly cloudy. 40 percent chance of flurries in the afternoon. Wind up to 15 km/h. High minus 23. Wind chill minus 43 in the morning and minus 31 in the afternoon. Risk of frostbite. UV index 1 or low.

Neige intermittente cessant en mi-journ

Trivial point, but typo in Alert window: “Envirinment Canada” - should read “Environment Canada”.

Would like to see WXSIM module and Australia Warnings.

WXSIM is finalized and was tested past 2 weeks.
Australia warnings is on the ToDo list.

Regarding the downward arrow under the temp, is it possible to have that actually report Temp Rate? Yesterday we had a cold front move in and my WD indicated a temp drop of -5.8F/hr, yet the console pic below indicated -1F. What does it actually mean? It always show either +1 or -1F. Thanks.

Problem is known, the temp-rate is either 0, -1 or +1
There is an update (somewhere in the other topic), attached, which only displays the arrow and skips the value.

Wim, so there is no way to have it actually report the true value?

The attached script will do that, it calculate the trend based on the last-hour change in rain.
Please unzip and test.

Rain? Did you mean temp?

Yes, sorry

I added the script to the pwsWD folder. I don’t see a change yet. Might have to wait longer?
