TAF - Different time formats
pejeio opened this issue · 1 comments
Expectation
start_time.dt and end_time.dt is always formatted in the correct ISO 8601 format
Result
The format differs from location to location.
EBBR

Raw TAF: EBBR 050501Z 0506/0612 06011KT CAVOK
"start_time": {
"repr": "0506",
"dt": "2020-05-05T06:00:00+00:00Z"

}It becomes especially difficult when this time has to be parsed for different weather stations. Tools like Moment.js fail.
Furthermore, the notation for EBBR does not appear to be correct. The letter "Z" should never be added when using "+00:00".
I will need to add some more tests in the core library to figure out what is causing some date time objects to be created without a timezone, but I've made a change to the JSON formatter that should fix this problem's symptom for the end-user.
