Weather Underground not showing current conditions

I have been using Cumulus for a while now and have set it up to update my Weather Underground account every 5 minutes.
If I go and look on WU, all the historical data is there (tabular data at the bottom), along with high, low and average, but the Current values are all missing - it just shows dashes.
Also, my PWS sticker which is supposed to show current conditions just shows nothing (or Nan, Not a Number).
Has anyone come across this before?
I used to upload data to WU by using some hand written scripts to read the weather station data and send it on and the current data used to show. It is only since using Cumulus that Current data isn't showing.
Thanks.

If you turn on the debug log, the debug.log file which is created will show exactly what is being sent to WU, and any error messages returned.

Hi Steve,
Below is the relevant section of the debug log file (with password removed!):
0644.594 : 19:08:40 Updating Wunderground
0644.594 :
http://weatherstation.wunderground.com/ ... =updateraw
0645.047 : 19:08:41 Response Code: 0 Response = success
As I said in the original message, the data is getting to WU as it's showing up in the tabular data charts at the bottom, however there is never a "Current" value.
Thanks.

Your current conditions look fine from here. Can you give me a link to demonstrate the problem?

Hi Steve,
Below is the link to my weather station page on weather underground:
http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstat ... Select=PWS
I've attached a screen shot too (and circled the problem area in red).
As you can see, the Current: items all show dashes, but the table at the bottom shows that I have been sending updates every 5 minutes.

Works fine with the ID in upper case:

As far as I can make out, what you're seeing is what happens for all stations when you use lower case, and is nothing to do with Cumulus at all.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for that.
How bizarre that their website shows all the history information if you put it in lower case but not the current conditions!
I would never have worked that one out!
Thanks.

I'm currently experiencing the same thing using the standard link from wunderground. The data is showing fine but the webcam sticker is showing NaN.

No, yours is not the same thing. This happens from time to time with WU; you've also been removed from the map. You need to talk to WU about it.

Well, no matter, it is showing ok now. Must have been a temporary glitch.
