Since Coventry airport closed at the beginning of December 09 (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/coventry_warwickshire/8401690.stm) no weather information has been available for Coventry (UK). The data currently being displayed originates from the 8th of December 09. Originally posted on: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgweather/+bug/498137
Created attachment 151148 [details] Conventy What is the problem? I can see the weather for Convety, Look the screenshot
Except it's not "9 degrees" in Coventry, the whole of England is under a blanket of snow, and it's in the minuses during the night: http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/2199?&search=coventry&itemsPerPage=10®ion=uk The weather you're seeing is a month old, read the original report again.
So what's the proposal? Removing it?
Birmingham Airport (from location Birmingham, Midlands, United Kingdom) seems to be reasonably close to Coventry, so yes, removing Coventry would be acceptable.
It looks like the Coventry airport was bought and reopened [1] such as the weather station is operational again. I suggest we close this bug. [1] http://www.coventryairport.co.uk/news/2010/06/15/coventry_airport_gears_up_for_business
Created attachment 365416 [details] [review] locations: Remove Coventry's airport The airport briefly closed between 2009 and 2010, but its weather station is not advertising METAR information any more, so remove the airport to make sure another weather station is picked up. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coventry_Airport

Except that the weather station didn't come back online, or its data sharing has been shut down, as there's no data available for it. > [1] > http://www.coventryairport.co.uk/news/2010/06/15/ > coventry_airport_gears_up_for_business
