SMP itself has nothing to do with weather downloading - that is a function of X-Plane. I suspect you're running into the issue where NOAA without warning switched its weather data to HTTPS protocol, which broke real world weather in X-Plane. You will need to update to X-Plane 11.32 to fix that.

If you are using a third-party weather injector, including Real Weather Connector configured to "always" mode, it may be affected by the same issue.

METAR.rwx is downloaded by X-Plane when you have real-world weather enabled. Again, this is currently broken in X-Plane unless you update to X-Plane 11.32. 

All you need to do is select real world weather conditions when setting up your weather scenario, and X-Plane should download this file for you. Real Weather Connector simply reads it, and translates it into cloud placements for use by Skymaxx Pro.

X-Plane itself believes there is no rain at this location, and we're just representing the conditions X-Plane is giving to us. SMP and RWC just represents the weather provided to it, either through X-Plane's built in real weather system or external products such as FSGRW.

My guess would be that the weather data X-Plane is retrieving from NOAA is out of date; it can be delayed by up to an hour, and that's normal.

It's also possible that there is some sort of problem preventing X-Plane from downloading data from NOAA. If the problem persists, please provide a copy of your log.txt and metar.rwx files so we can see what's going on.
