Belchertown skin | Windy.com blue marker location

[Ben W.]

Hello!

For the windy.com radar that generates on the map, where would I find the location that is used for the radar_marker location?

I've looked through the /etc/weewx/weewx.conf file, and this is all I have:

            # radar_html = ''   #  (default seems to center on your lat/lon)
            # radar_html_dark = None
            # radar_zoom = 8
              radar_marker = 0

I realize this language exists. The marker on mine is probably a two dozen or so miles away, so I am wondering if I am looking in the wrong file (not weewx.conf?) 

I did change radar_marker to '0' which I understand is supposed to disable the marker, but it still shows.

It doesn't need to be perfect, but it would be nice if it were in the general area of the station.

Any suggestions are appreciated - thanks!

Hi Ben,

For mine at least I pasted in a long src url that includes the latitude and longitude in it. Something like:

radar_html = <iframe width="650" height="360" src="https://embed.windy.com/embed2.html?lat=46.890&lon=-92.197&detailLat=47.212&detailLon=-91.637&width=650&height=360&zoom=7&level=surface&overlay=radar&product=radar&menu=&message=&marker=&calendar=24&pressure=&type=map&location=coordinates&detail=&metricWind=mph&metricTemp=%C2%B0F&radarRange=-1" frameborder="0"></iframe>    #  (default seems to center on your lat/lon)

I have the same setting as Raheem and it puts the point radar_marker within 10 miles of the location that I set in weewx.conf.

Thank you both! I will look into generating that same time of long url!
