moonrise or moonset not always present

Post by wvdkuil »

Meteohub doesn't consistently supply moonrise or moonset times when these times are on different days.

Using ipadres meteohub: 5558 results today in:

actual_sunrise_nauticaltwilight_local 05:48
actual_sunset_nauticaltwilight_local 21:43
actual_moonset_standard_local 08:15
actual_moonset_standard_utc 06:15
actual_thb0_temp_c 19.4

As the sun rises and set each same day, those values are always present.
When the moon rises the previous day or sets the next day the corresponding values are not always present.
Yesterday 23:15 was returned, today the values [actual_moonrise_standard_local] etc. don't show up in the output.

I adapted my scripts by substituting zero [actual_moonrise_standard_local:0] for possible missing values and then displaying a value like "Moonrise < 00.00".
