Chance of rain always zero

Featured Replies

No matter what the chance of rain from other weather forecasts, the forecast for each of the next six days in OpenWeatherMap always shows zero (0). My temperature prediction seems to match well with other weather forecasts. This appears to have been consistently true for the last 3 to 4 weeks, ever since I updated to version 4.0.0.

Installed 4.0.1. Chance of rain on Forecast0 (today) is now 1800%.  All days thereafter are 0%.

My system was down so I wasn't able to test, but now that I have it working again.  Version 4.0.0 works correctly for me, the change I made in 4.0.1 was wrong and not needed.  I've pushed 4.0.2 which is exactly like 4.0.0

If you're seeing POP values of zero, that's what OpenWeatherMap is sending.

Perhaps OpenWeatherMap has changed something. They used to match reasonably closely to the percentages I got from The Weather Channel and Weather Underground.

Anyway, thank you for checking.

Interestingly, after installing 4.0.2 my chance of rain today is now 18%, which has a certain ring to it (comparing to the 1800% I received under 4.0.1). My two weather channels are both predicting about 10%. And, again, the remaining days in my predictions are all zero compared to Weather Channel and Weather Underground predictions ranging from 5% to 10% over the next six days.

You can get the URL that the plug-in is using to query OpenWeatherMap from the log when it's at debug level.  You can then cut-n-paste that into a browser address bar and see the raw data that OpenWeatherMap is returning. 

When I did this with mine, I saw a change of rain (20%) for today and 0% for the remaining daily forecasts which matched what the plug-in reported to IoX.

Interesting, today my Administrative Console is showing the same predictions as yours: 20% today followed by 0% for the remaining days.

I am not seeing a URL buried in my debug log, but I am getting some seemingly strange lines including the following:

Got it. Thanks. You are right, the data at the URL does match what I'm seeing. And since you and I are seeing the same thing at our different locations (this afternoon it is still 20% for today followed by all zeros), and since it doesn't match my other weather data, it sounds like OpenWeatherMap itself is having a problem.

Thank you for your time, attention, and assistance.
