Hi

I thnik the only issue is that you need the full URL, if you use the truncated version with the "..." in it won't work. So in full they are:

satellite = http://image.weather.com/images/sat/uksat_600x405.jpg

temperature = http://image.weather.com/images/maps...c_day1_600.jpg

UV Index = http://image.weather.com/images/maps...v_day1_600.jpg

Winds = http://image.weather.com/images/maps...s_day1_600.jpg

Humidity = http://image.weather.com/images/maps...h_day1_600.jpg

Precipitation = http://image.weather.com/images/maps...precip_600.jpg

Or alternately

satellite = http://i.imwx.com/images/maps/en_UK/...uk_sat_600.jpg

temperature = http://i.imwx.com/images/maps/en_UK/...c_day1_600.jpg

UV Index = http://i.imwx.com/images/maps/en_UK/...v_day1_600.jpg

Winds = http://i.imwx.com/images/maps/en_UK/...s_day1_600.jpg

Humidity = http://i.imwx.com/images/maps/en_UK/...h_day1_600.jpg

Precipitation = http://i.imwx.com/images/maps/en_UK/...precip_600.jpg

Right click the links - 'Copy shortcut'
Paste this into the weather config

Right you are, I was using the exact text for the URL rather than copying the underlying link.

Works like a charm now, thanks both for answering so quickly!

Seem to be working here? Atleast their upto date to the hour at the moment...

Hi Guys,

I wonder if any clever programmers/devs could write something for the My weather to incorporate the BBC weather images?

From the following BBC weather main page BBC - Weather Centre - UK Weather, you can click on the text links for different maps and the arrows for different times. Then just right click on image and properties to get the image URL. EG.....

The url for the Cloud map is http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/charts/...n_08051121.jpg

The url for the temp map is http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/charts/...e_08051212.jpg

Note the format is fairly logical at the end. Eg for "08" "05" "12" is 12th May 2008 and the number at the end is the time -1 eg "21" is 22:00 or 10pm. Or 12 is 11:00 or 11am.

Also, the BBC provide RSS feeds for a specific towns 3 day forecast etc, so this could also used?

I wondered if something could be written to access these images? Like a BBC weather plugin?

Just a thought

Cheers,
Colin

Cheers,
Colin
