What are the last 2 entries on each line

10/-1 and (20:51)

Red and pink LOL

@stephenmelody said in MMM-aviationwx (Aviation weather):

10 degrees C temperature / -1 degrees C dew point (time of report)

You would like that the same? Delete or move Altimeter?

Hot pink? :-)

the format on that image is:

Wind direction @ wind speed: 220@05kt
Visibility: 10SM 10 statute miles
Sky Coverage: OVC - overcast, BKN - broken etc…
Cloud base: 150(00)ft
Temp: 10 degrees C
Dewpoint: -1 degrees C
Time of the report in 24 hour clock: 20:51

I’d say (personal opinion) that the pressure/altimeter setting isn’t that important. I’d prefer to keep the additional information, if you look at FDY and TBR above, they have:

-RA which is showers of rain
BR - which is fog (or haze, I can’t remember… 70% sure it’s fog, either way you can’t see through it well)

That to me is more important that the altimeter setting.

I can look for other examples if that would help?

Nope, that’s good for now

@stephenmelody

How would I denote visibility if this is the data ?

Visibility:1500

Simply 1500? v1500? vis? other?

stephenmelody

Do you have an example airport you’re getting that from? Is it outside of the US where viz is usually XXSM?

I thought that was the whole idea for this module, that it would be international, yes?

stephenmelody

Russian Viz is in metres, so they’d want to see 1500m I’m guessing.

That’s the problem, you’re creating the ability to call weather from international airports but each country / region reports differently. The good thing with AVWX is it tells you the unit to use, so you could just append after the value the unit identifier, so in your example you have:

 "Visibility": "9999",

and in the units section:

"Visibility": "m",

so you could concatenate it to be:

visibility: 9999m

Does that make sense? Have I answered the question?
