SOLAR DATA (K and A) seems not correct since v 2.24.0.0

Hello
Maybe I'm wrong but daily L4OM shows
Kp: 0 (Quiet) A: 0 SFI: correct value Sunspot: correct value
so each time I check K and A are 0 but that's wrong.

I don't know from where it comes.

There were changes to the data that NOAA send which broke Log4OM, we have made some changes and now it is working fine and the next Beta release will contain the update

in version 2.23.0.0, my Kp and A were also not displaying correctly (0 and 0 respectively), and neither was my SFI (displaying "-1"). I upgraded to version 2.25.0.0 which now displays Kp to 2 decimal places (1.67) and A = 25. My SFI still displays -1. Sunspot seems correct (96). Any idea what may be wrong? some setting is not correct or something wrong in the software?

Also, noticed the weather from the nearest airport should be displaying. I haven't found it yet after minimal looking. I'll keep researching that myself, though.

The -1 values are coming from the server its not a Log4OM issue we can only publish what is provided by the space agencies - See below

Thank you. I understand. Seems strange noaa would publish what is obviously an error. I wonder if anyone at noaa is even paying attention. I found other servers which have more reasonable numbers: solar flux 150 on 12/27/2022.

Thanks for a great product LOG4OM. Helps make ham radio interesting and enjoyable.

We are sure that servers stating 150 for the same period are guessing because there is no source data supporting that number
