UPDATE 2:

I figured out something more:
It looks like Canada is the ONLY Country (or perhaps one of a few countries) in which metric is not working, I checked out three different countries (and one thing for sure: I will NOT check out more of them :-))

GERMANY:


FRANCE:


ARGENTINA:



All of the 3 countries are working fine with metric units, except Canada.
Why is it like this?
Because the weather in Canada was never predictable and it never will be :-))

So I do not believe it is a bug in sweather. Metric does not work for one country but for all the others? No that's not a sweather bug, this must have something to do with the source
sweather got his weather data from (I guess).

Regards

UPDATE:

Here it comes:



How I did that?
I played a little bit around with the sweather options:

And I switched from THAT:




To THAT:



I deactivated the metric units.
And the EF is working.

But Canada is a METRIC country and I am a metric guy and without METRIC I will not use sweather at all.
So I turned METRIC back on. Now, the EF is not working for me (and all the other Windows XP metric-guys here in Canada I guess) but as I posted: For me is fine, I do not need the EF at all.

Hopefully, my informations are helpful for fixing a few bugs in the sweather future.

It could be the fact that you're running XP
-skwire
I posted that before:
Thanks, now it's working on Win XP again
Except the 5 and 10 days extended forecast does not work



Can you verify that your Windsor WOEID is 4079?
-skwire
Verified

As I posted before: It does not matter that the EF (Extended Forecast) does not working for me,
I never used it (I only wanted to let You know).

But:
I tested the EF a few times in the past, it was working very well and without any problems on my system before the changes on Yahoo starts and everything had to be updated in sweather.
So it is not a bug in my system.
And I am not willing to switch to an other OS (because I am addicted to XP :-)
Again, it does not matter for me because I never used the EF.
So do not worry, it is fine like it is (for me).

It looks like this because I deactivate the extended forecast always.

When you say Except the 5 and 10 days extended forecast does not work, can you tell me which  5 and 10 days extended forecast does not work, ?

I figured out a way to get data from the old API and have added an option for that (enabled by default).

Thanks, now it's working on Win XP again (jep, I'm the one who' s still using XP)
Except the 5 and 10 days extended forecast does not work, but who cares?
That was and will be always only a guess.

Regards
