I want to report some misfits I notice between icons and weather description in MeeCast:
1. Scattered showers(light rain) is presented by icon of cloud+5 rain drops, when Showers(more heavy rain) is cloud+3 rain drops.
2. "Cloudy, light rain" is represented with cloud+5 drops, "Overcast, rain" is represented again with cloud+5 drops.
3. "Mostly clear" is represented with sun+non transparent cloud over it, when "Mostly cloudy" is sun+2 small transparent clouds over it. My notion is that it must be vice versa.

There are more such misfits, but I think you got the idea. Is it just an limited iconset issue or something can be improved?

I am using sources Foreca and Weather.com and iconset is Contour.

Hi Zlatko.

MeeCast uses adapted iconsets for the weather.com source.
This source uses number from 0.png to 47.png as icon name.
Information (Weather forecast) for MeeCast from other sources MeeCast converts to weather.com iconset format.

You can find descriptions of the weather.com iconset here
I'm not author of Contour iconset and maybe this iconset doesn't have correctly mapping for description.
You can find Contour iconset for comparing here

Vlad.

Catbus already mentioned this and I agree that there seems to be somekind of problem with Foreca weather showing days forecast in places where Meecast should show current weather.

According to config everything should be alright and testing these urls in a browser show correct sites and information, but Meecast still shows only forecast information.
Every now and then Meecast shows the current weather, but that happens maybe once a day with update setting in once per every two hours.

Copy/paste from config.xml (sorry for line endings):

<station>
<source_name>foreca.com</source_name>

I've tried to fix this problem. Can you test a new package?

Thanks Vasvlad!

Had to uninstall 0.5.5 first.
Now the first page shows 'Now' and info shown is current weather and matches the site. The screen accessible by tapping it shows 'Today' and what seems to be again current info, eg. I saw it change at the same time to same figures with the first page's 'Now' information. Could be that this is ok as the link was the same anyway and the foreca.mobi Url doesn't show general forecast info on that page, just "now" and "every three hours" per day.

The forecast information that was shown on the first page in version 0.5.5 can't be seen anywhere for the day we are at in, but for the coming days lower temps can be seen on the first page. Clicking them for details shows day temperature. This might be as designed and is ok I think.

Edit: Correction and clarification; Both high and low temps show in coming days forecasts on the first page, and in details page the day and night temps are on their respective tabs so this is definitely as intended.
