Bit concerned re TAFs. See attached. The SD info even refers to some TAFs for yesterday. But time of datafeed is right. Also only shows 5 entries and I think full entry is 7.

Looked at other stations too & there were sig diffs.

P3 gives Metoffice raw data for EGNM. Seems same as Aeroweather widget.

Any idea of reason for discrepancy?

Can you be specific about what you're referring to? The taf displayed in detail in SkyDemon appears to be the same taf displayed in detail in your screenshots from another utility, though the tempo/becmg parts seem not to be displaying the right dates. Is that what you're talking about?

This analyses it in more detail.

EGNM TAF today is correct  .. only difference is that +SHRA is shown as Showers/Rain  .. "+" sign means Heavy Showers. No 1 eyeball fixes that!

Have you corrected anything since my original post. If yes we can all relax!

My suspicion is that this was a duff TAF, updated by whatever agency published it shortly after publishing. SkyDemon probably had one version, another service had another.

Doing a post-mortem on this won't achieve much but if you ever see anything like this again, please take a screenshot of SkyDemon while the mouse pointer is hovered over the top row of the TAF detail in SkyDemon, so the tooltip is displaying the raw TAF data, and send us the complete screenshot. We'll then be able to ascertain whether SkyDemon interpreted something in the bulletin incorrectly.

In the documentation we encourage pilots to always check the raw TAF, in the manner suggested above, because there are TAF elements that SkyDemon cannot and does not parse such as remarks.
