GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 142403
"CAVOK" conditions in gweather show as "Sky: Invalid"
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Description of Problem: If the METAR weather data (which I presume gweather uses) contains the phrase "CAVOK" (this replaces cloud and visibility data) gweather doesnt know what to do. However, CAVOK means "Ceiling above 5000ft and visibility greater than 10 kilometers." Thus a "sunshine" icon would be the one to use here, since very often CAVOK means sunshine - although it can be also overcast at 5000 feet by the definition - but in reality this happens rarely. So, it would be nice if, in case of CAVOK, gweather would use "sunny" icon and set Visibility: to "over 10 km" or whatever that is in miles if the user wants miles.
Setting piority to high.
there a patch for this at bug #142823
