I'm writing my own upload script, and I have just discovered that if I upload data (eg wind / Barom) with no temperature associated, WU records the temperature as 0 F (-17.8 °C). This seems to be a bug as the wiki http://wiki.wunderground.com/index.php/PWS_-_Upload_Protocol says the only compulsory fields are:
- action
- ID
- PASSWORD
- dateutc

If you can see the raw data, you'll see that in some cases it did upload temperature with a "NaN" readoing or an "inf" reading. I fixed that bug and just uploaded with no tempf / dewpt / humid fields but it still doesnt like it.
This is a recent "post" string (with password removed) and yes I also need to fix the 2m average wind speed bug, but the same problem occurs with temp even with valid wind data

I have a verified station at the same location I will switch to once I'm sure the new script is stable.

This isn't a trivial thing to fix unfortunately. We'll look into it, but we'll be working against 20 years of entrenched practice. A timely fix is unlikely

Is there anyway I can get notified if (eventually) there is a fix?
