My PWS shows only the following data points: Is there anything I can do to try to get to the bottom of it? Thanks!įor example, it is now 12:50am local time April 3 but my PWS shows the last data point as 12:36am (and the cron job timing vs data points are not in sync) I am not sure how to debug since the response says everything is fine. The URL returns “Data Logged and posted in METAR mirror.” but looking at my station’s page on PWS it looks like the data is sometimes 15+ minutes delayed, sometimes posts 2 minutes after the previous post, and sometimes just does not show up.
I’ve never been this I set up wufyi and a cron job.
There are plenty of free cron job (link) sites which would be compatible with your server. So here is my version of a PHP script (link) which can be uploaded to most PHP compatible servers (some are even free)*. What I did have is a web host, some PHP knowledge and desire to make it work without additional expense. I loved an idea of bash script, developed by but didn’t have a constant ON machine having JQ available. By doing this I hope to avoid issues with WU api.
I do not want to provide a way for you to store your credentials on the site and setup cron job for you. The way the site works now is this way for a reason. I’ve moved my hosted script to a full fledged host / domain so now you do not have to. (*)Update 2: I noticed that some free web hosts use javascript in order to filter out automated traffic, exactly the kind used by periodic cron jobs. Update: You can now use this script without needing to setup your own server, more info at
