Title: Meteorologist On The Fritz... Again!
Post by: Dreambird on August 22, 2007, 12:16:20 AM

Has anyone else been having problems?

I'm running Meteorologist version 1.46 and everything outside of the US is showing nothing but a ? mark for current conditions. The radar image however works. My 2 US locations are functioning properly.

Been this way since last night...

I gave up on it and use this in FF https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/398 it runs on the bottom rail of your browser.

Working OK here on both my Intel and PPC machines.

Thanks SB... I've installed that. Not bad and it still fits in my Bookmarks toolbar...  

Harv...
Are you getting the current conditions for non-US locations? I'm not... it's all ? marks all down the line except for the 2 US locations I have which are completely functional. Everything else is OK for the radar image and extended forecast, just not current conditions...

I have only one 'foreign' location. And it's 'current' icon is the question mark. However, it still has current and forecast info when I open its hierarchical menu. And this, particular location (Shannon, Ireland) is often displayed in this state.

However, the local weather does seem to be broken, also. It keeps showing triple digit temperatures and no rain in the forecasts! Unfortunately, I don't think that's a software problem. Seems I'm a few version behind, also. Maybe the new one will bring back some cooler weather!

DB,

Yep, only the ? when seeking the current conditions outside the US.

A quick peek at the Meteo Forum indicates this is a wide-spread problem.

Seems very strange (to me) that when Meteo fetches non-US data, it has no problem with the forecasted weather, but it can not retrieve the current weather.

Only care about the weather where I am... now if only it could get rid of this 55º weather in August.

Add your 55 and my 90 divide by 2, and we'd both be comfortable.

Thanks for the reports everyone. I probably wouldn't have noticed this bug, otherwise. I will work on a fix over the next few days, and post a fix as soon as I can (unfortunately the next day or two are pretty busy for me).
