New TFF weather page

[Clive]

Been messing about with this on and off for a while and think its at a stage good enough to show everyone and hopefully get a bit of feedback on

The engine behind it is pretty good IMO - it can work out your approx location and show you your forecast accordingly

there is live and predicted rain, wind, temp and other data, Week ahead that can be drilled down to more daily detail a plus a time machine where you can look up historical actually weather data on any given date (handy for those retrospective red tractor recording days !!)

Take a look and let us have some feedback please, when its complete we will add a new button to the top to make it quick and easy to access

Link here is the only way to access it for now https://thefarmingforum.co.uk/index.php?pages/weather/

What browser are you using ?

Microsoft edge

Had a quick look, the info is there, but needs to be searched for a bit, would be better with the local map and current weather as the opening page, possibly with a slider to move date/time for the forecast.
Found it diffiult to get bact to today's weather from the weekend.

Yes I think there is an issue with it in that browser. we need to find a solution to, seems happy in all other browsers we have tested

The map should be locally centred if you ok the allow use of current location

You can zoom in to get more local or we could set the default to show more local ?

There are many things I can do but stopping it raining on demand is unfortunately not one of them ! :-(

Looks good at first glance, especially handy with the historic info

Blank white page here as well.
Latest version of Firefox running on Windows 7 64bit.

Tried again with Ublock Origin and Ghostery plugins disabled and still get a blank white page.

Doesn’t like some browsers it seems ! Chrome, safari, brave all seem ok Edge not so and Firefox seems to depend on version

Sure we will sort that pretty easy though

Will it have a icon top right like the four that are there now?

 

[Badshot]

Noticed this today.
Looks ok
I like the rain radar, is that live feed? Or historic?

It’s going to be quite good I think.

On iPhone it tries to highlight the text as you scroll up or down.
The map needs two finger scroll rather than one.
The slider on the graphs locks to your scroll movements so when you’ve slid it along you cant scroll up or down the page.

Keep working at it, I think it’ll be worth it.

I think the info and layout is good - just a bit of detail and browser compatibility to sort I think and we will add a top page button for easy access from any page on the forum

It’s “current” so I assume live but you can also change it to display forecast radar

It works on Firefox part way around the world. It missed my location by less than 50 miles.

Is there any way to view the jet stream; we keep hearing about what it is doing and it'd be good to see it on a map.
