I suspect because you're 8-10 hours ahead in Oz that would cause that error to be generated.

You could report it on the beta feedback link on the WOW site. They don't make it clear or not if it's limited to UK users.

I tried tinkering with the timezone in the WOW profile settings but not luck there.

Where is the WOW beta feedback link?

I have just had a look on there, at a few places in and around the UK, NONE of which are showing present weather conditions when you click on the little blue dot, I have a feeling this is a server side problem, rather than own pc

Are the times actually in the future? Note that they are UTC. I use the same code for doing WU etc timestamps, so it's unlikely that they're wrong.

I looked at my station on the WOW world map and the colour of the icon in my location showed I was reporting -2oC :)

The only data I had uploaded and can view on it says 17.4oC.

Click on Site Information and you'll see how Rob answered the questions about his location. The 'scoring' is determined from his answers. No favourites at WOW. :lol:

Ah, location-yes! And a Stevenson Screen, too.

No chance of my wife allowing that in the garden. She vetoed the VP2 and just about tolerates the Vue.

Will just have to settle for 2 stars, then.

Got no bleedin clue to be honest with those, and dont take any notice of them either, not really impressed with the site overall, prefer WU & PWS

I do like PWS.

They don't do auto update, though, but everything is all on one page and the graphics and layout are very well thought out.

WU's 'Current Conditions' certainly packs a lot in and is hard to navigate around, but the 'no ads' option makes a difference and Rapid Fire is great.
