Error parsing statute mile visibility value about avwx-api

[devdupont]

I assume this is also true for all double-digit numerator values like "13/4SM" -> 1.75 ?

Is this also applied to other fields or just visibility?

Yes. My understanding is that a statue mile visibility group will only ever have a single digit numerator. According the the NOAA definition a correctly formed visibility element in a North American TAF should have a space between the whole miles and the fraction but I guess that’s not always followed.

I believe only visibility has these fractions. The only other slash characters are in date/time groups and wind shear groups but they are not used to denote fractions.

Ok. That should be an easy fix. It will have to be stuff behind an avwx-engine feature release, but I’ll comment back when it’s deployed.

Sorry for taking so long. The root issue here has been fixed and should be available on the server now.

>>> make_number('11/4')
Fraction(repr='5/4', value=1.25, spoken='one and one quarter', numerator=5, denominator=4, normalized='1 1/4')
