Hi,

thanks a lot for the report. I've added Abuja, it's committed to CVS. Unfortunately, Jos does not provide METAR data on weather.noaa.gov, so the weather module cannot display information about that city.

Regarding the outdated weather information: Yes, the data source is reliable. It's taken from weather.noaa.gov, which collects the METAR weather data from all airports which provide that information publically. It's entirely up to the airports to decide how often their data gets updated. If they update their METAR reports only every couple of days, there's nothing I can do about it, sorry.

Regards,
Tobias

You could either download the 6.x-5.x-dev tarball or wait about a week, when the next official release will be made.
