### Live Weather Integration Issues

### General Debugging Tips

1. **Enable Debugging:**
   * Set `Config.Debugging` to `true` in `config.lua` to enable detailed debug output in the server and client logs.
2. **Check Logs:**
   * Review the server and client logs for any error messages or warnings. These logs can provide valuable information about what might be going wrong.
3. **Verify Dependencies:**
   * Ensure that all required dependencies (such as b2\_vehicleEssentials if used) are installed and running correctly.
4. **Test in Isolation:**
   * Disable other scripts temporarily to see if the issue persists. This can help identify if there are conflicts with other resources.
5. **Update Resources:**
   * Make sure you are using the latest version of b2\_weatherEssentials and any related dependencies.
