Modified document to reflect NiagaraAX-3.6 changes to the weather module, such that it covers the weather module in both AX-3.6 and AX-3.5. Where needed, differences in operation between the two release levels of NiagaraAX are noted. The following is a summary of document changes:
The Weather overview section includes a new subsection What’s new in the AX-3.6 weather module , and the Using weather components in Px views has a new subsection Demo station example of Px support.
The Adding WeatherReports section now has two different sections on reviewing NWS advisories configuration: Configuring for advisories (AX-3.6 and later) and Configuring for advisories (AX-3.5), as the WeatherService architecture for advisories changed in AX-3.6.
The Weather components section has new entries for components introduced starting in AX-3.6, including Advisory, AdvisoryContainer, and AdvisoryAlarmSourceInfo, and the component sections on the CurrentConditions and Forecast components were modified to include new air quality properties (Ozone and Particulate Matter).
The Weather plugins (views) section has a new Advisory Manager entry.
A section About EPA connections was added to explain how air quality data (in AX-3.6) is obtained by the WeatherService.

Reworked entire document to reflect NiagaraAX-3.5 changes to the weather module, and omitted many previous references to earlier releases, except for a few that pertain to AX-3.4. Therefore, this is now a “versioned” document that applies to the weather module in AX-3.5 and later. Many screencaptures were updated from the previous document, and various minor changes were made that are too numerous to mention.
The basic focus of this document remains unchanged—to describe the weather module. The following provides a summary of changes in this document update:
The Weather overview section includes new subsections Using weather components in Px views and Advisories.
The Adding WeatherReports section was reordered to come before component description sections, and includes a Configuring for advisories (AX-3.5) procedure.
The Weather components section has new subsections for components introduced in AX-3.5, including FoxWeatherProvider, MoonPosition, NwsAdvisoryAlarmExt, and SunPosition, and components are now ordered in a more hierarchical (versus alphabetical) manner.
The Weather plugins (views) section has a new Moon View subsection.
The About NWS connections subsection was edited to mention the FoxWeatherProvider.
