Silly Idea - Ukraine Weather

[A Canadian Cat]

Just FYI I collected the data from the web sites but have not yet copied it into the spread sheet so no one panic when they see it is missing.

Like anyone else is watching

@Ithikial, I just read you are heading home...

I just made sure the spread sheet is up to date. We'll see who beats whom to the data tomorrow...

Read my message from July 15th to see what "improvements" I made to the process.

Things are up to date with just two days left.

@Ithikial , have you settled back into normal yet? I am going to suggest that we keep recording the weather data until the end of the year. Just in case BFC decides to extend the time frame when a module gets added. What do you think?

Okay....

Anyone else wants to chip in and help would be appreciated.

Or we could stop the main spread sheet and just let my script scrape the data for the rest of the year and then if we need it later we can collect it.

I have it running automatically every morning.

:singer: Music to my ears. Sounds good to me.

OK the spread sheet is complete. And I have augmented my script to also save the raw XML version of the web pages so that when parsing / processing problems occur during the winter I can fix things. The program will be saving the information in the sub directory "WebDataExtraction" like before but creating a folder for each day. I will .zip them up every now and then so I do not think the data size will be very big. Let me know if you want it out of the shared folder though.

I will now leave things to you to make any final touches to the spread sheet.

Enjoy

Cheers for your help while I've been away and for the scripting.

My pleasure - I think this will be a good resource.
