Windy UTC Partial Error Issue

I have been trying to upload data to Windy. I see this error in MXdiags:
Code: Select all
Windy Response: OK: SUCCESS (partial) <br> 'dateutc': value is greater then our now time (our time is used) dt = 1s; <br>
LOL at "then" instead of "than", but I am not sure what the UTC issue means as my computer time is correct.
Windy is using my CWOP APRS data as well.

Respectless laugh at non native English speakers/creators.
Should'nd you send the observation to Windy?
I recently used the word 'miniscules' for 'lowercase'. I was kindly corrected and I could laugh about it. But that was me laughing about myself.
And I think it means that somewhere, you are 1 second ahead of the Windy server.
Big deal

The use of leap seconds to correct time drift is not adopted by all nations (does USA?), so I have read of 1 second astray issues in other more safety critical contexts.

Respectless? Their website is in English.

So? They are czech and only have a small team of 15 people. They are doing pretty well I think but an error like this is easily made for a non native English speaker.
And btw: I communicate in English here as well (site, my manual, my utility)... that leads sometimes to embarrassing translation losses as well
I know what I am talking about.
