Your cloudbase IS changing, but you have the settings to show ASL - ie. your altitude plus Cumulus cloudbase, and because it's raining / high RH, you are IN the cloud.
Code:
#################################################################################
# BEGIN IMAGE DETAILS SETTINGS #
#################################################################################
// Override the default variables with those found in (CU) CUtags.php
$useCUuom = false; // always use the cloud base height reported by Cumulus
$useCUHeight = false; // override the default variables with those found in (CU) CUtags.php
Your setting (I think) are also saying that the (temp) should be to one decimal point; however even if the setting are changed to Imperial, or (null) default, the accented
A character appears instead of the decimal part of the string.
It would seem that
Code:
$txtT = round($curtemp).'°'.$uomTemp;
Is not giving the results expected.
One for the author (Ray) I think ....
I don't know if it's really working. I mean if works clouds height.
All evening I am playing with:
BEGIN IMAGE DETAILS SETTINGS #
#################################################################################
// Override the default variables with those found in (CU) CUtags.php
$useCUuom = false; // always use the cloud base height reported by Cumulus
$useCUHeight = false; // override the default variables with those found in (CU) CUtags.php
$useWDuom = false; // always use the cloud base height reported by Weather Display
$useWDHeight = false; // override the default variables with those found in (WD) testtags.php
and with
$getMetar = true; // get the METAR from NOAA for substituting cloud conditions at night and/or day (not required)
$metarRefresh = 1; // refresh rate of the METAR in minutes
$useMetarAtNight = true; // always use METAR at night time for determinig clouds
$onlyUseMetar = true; // always use METAR for determinig clouds
And when I set all these to false
$useCUuom = false; // always use the cloud base height reported by Cumulus
$useCUHeight = false; // override the default variables with those found in (CU) CUtags.php
$useWDuom = false; // always use the cloud base height reported by Weather Display
$useWDHeight = false; // override the default variables with those found in (WD) testtags.php
Then it start show me 174m instead of 180m. ( but before all the time shows me 180) But if you move mouse on cloudbase picture then you can see that text pop up 180m ASL and this text never changes. Even on sunny day.
I spotted that in cumulus program my coudbase always shows 18m or sometimes 17m only.
In cumulus I set my altitude to 162m.
I live in clouds all the time

between your conversation I understood only one thing. In my coudbase scrip I missing metar or something like that? I tried to do everything what’s written in manual. And yes I enter my station data in cloudbase php elevation, longitude, latitude.
