Looking through the posts here, I'm not seeing a fix for the problem of wview reporting invalid values to Weather Underground when the temperature is below zero. Has there been progress on this? The suggestions I'm seeing here and in Mantis involve substituting some incorrect positive values, which I'd rather avoid. Did anyone ever find a way to send the correct values?

Thanks!

the fix has been identified but it hasn’t been rolled into a formal release.

if you indicate your platform (processor, opsys & version) someone ought to be able to send a patch

The last entry I can find in Mantis is still the one from thogland on 2015-11-14 that says "So just adding 'abs ()' to the code is not correct, just less incorrect :-)". Did anyone ever figure out a correct fix?

I'm inclined to agree with ook's 2015-02-27 guess that "%06.3f",t/10.0 is the right approach. Has anyone tested it?

ook here. i unit tested it (ie isolated code sample with example values pushed through it) but never tested it in production quality code (it never gets below -5C here so not a problem for me, and not field-testable)

Does your unit test include values between 0 and -1 ? Eg -0.7 F ?

Every year when it gets cold in January, I am reminded that this is still hanging out there :) Has anyone played with it again?
