Forecast V3.4.ob2 Problems

[philip....@gmail.com]

weewx V 5.1.0

Been having problems getting downloads from UKMO for a while now but only started to look into it.

It downloads 4/5 cycles Ok and then fails

025-08-04T12:50:17.090123+01:00 raspberrypi weewxd[1790]: ERROR user.forecast: UKMOThread: UKMO: missing field 'Location'
2025-08-04T12:50:17.090187+01:00 raspberrypi weewxd[1790]: INFO user.forecast: UKMOThread: UKMO: got 0 forecast records

If I then, shortly after the failure, delete forecast.sdb and reboot it downloads OK.

2025-08-04T13:05:17.618878+01:00 raspberrypi weewxd[1787]: INFO user.forecast: UKMOThread: UKMO: got 38 forecast records

It looks like a UKMO problem but why does it download OK if I delete the database shortly afterwards.

Thanks Phil

Met Office have or in the process of changing data hubs so that may be the reason.

Mine still dowloads OK at the moment, but changes will be needed before December Datapoint Retirement

I suppose its down to John k or Mathew but could the forecast program  be updated to use UKMO datahub

I feel guilt asking.

Sorry to ask and its probably a question for either Mathew H or John K but could UKMO datahub be added to the forecast software

Thanks Phil

I think this is a question for John K or Mathew W  could UKMO datahub be provided on the forecast program.

Thanks
