Ok, fixed it. The free METAR service I had hooked the bot up to had changed in that way free services often randomly do, so needed to update that code.

METAR and TAF bots leap back from the grave…

Reminder on how to use. Just type something like this with a valid station/airport code in a post, and the bot will look it up and edit it.

Another balmy day near our Christmas destination!

Maybe KCNO doesn’t issue TAFs…?

Looks that way.

LOL…the ultralight pilots in the pattern at PASY are not liking this at all.

Couple of sites for those that want to play along but not go through the joy of learning how to read them in their raw form.

I wonder who will find out why I queried these four airports.
Hint: you only have a few hours or it will get a lot harder.

Too bad the first two don’t publish reports, but I couldn’t stop once I had started the sequence
