Add own observations
Has anyone been playing with adding own weather observations?
There are a list of sources in the WxObservations.xml file but the parsing of the downloaded files seems hard-coded (understandibly). There are some pointers early in the xml file but I don't know how to apply them.
The only two option I can see would be
* to add my own items as Bermuda stations, add my own URLs accordingly and output observation according to their syntax
* to emulate what the software WxWorx seems to do but the format for these observations is unknown to me
I am looking for a way to adjust this in a similar fashion as the MyGrib.xml where I have added my own grib server as just another source by editing the xml file.
Does anyone have ideas?

Re: Add own observations
They are all custom formats depending on the source, so this wouldn't be easily doable.
Maybe mail me.

Re: Add own observations
In the end I did a python script creating a list of observations, similar in format to the NDBC bouys.
Using the ViVa observations in Sweden: (Sorry, in Swedish only...)
This worked great. No problems.
