weather underground and WOW report errors on new years day
Posted: Tue 01 Jan 2013 10:40 pm
Sincere apologies if this is the wrong place to post this: this is my first post here but I am told it is a helpful forum, so here's hoping!
Cumulus software (brilliant) v1.9.2 (1032) has been sending data successfully from our new VP2 school weather station to WOW and WU for 3 months or so with no snags. At midnight last night both started playing up: Weather Underground started reporting negative rainfall figures at the turn of midnight (-923mm & counting down with further rainfall today) and WOW (met office weather observation website) flat-lined at the same time. I have done a quick check of other weather stations elsewhere and they seem ok. The cumulus pages seem fine. Could this be a problem with my cumulus settings or should I go bark up another tree? It would seem obvious to check WOW and WU but the fact they have both gone awry seems to indicate a problem nearer home. Many thanks for any help you can offer: I'm logging off now but will check any replies tomorrow.

and this unexpected bug is a tad disappointing for those of us using WU and WOW for further web output. Pending a solution, would it help if I changed the weather day in Cumulus to start at midnight rather than 9am... or is this totally irrelevant?
