Sorry.  Metar weather is clearly annotated as such.  The new weather
features are just Horde: weather.

On a side note, the refresh options are:

Never,
30 Seconds
1 Minute
5 minutes
15 minutes
30 minutes
Hour

Even assuming that is only while a user is logged in (which I don't),
it seems excessive.  Can we have 4 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours and daily
and login?

Even for a single user set up (which this is not, 1 hour intervals
would  you over the limit on the Weather Underground basic package.

Thanks.

Simon
