I recently had a problem downloading Metars from NOAA so I was using the Hamweather option for a while. I noticed that there is still a 30+ minute delay in getting current conditions. I posted this query in this forum before and I also contacted Hamweather but so far no one has given an answer as to why this delay occurs.
I love the fact that with Hamweather we can get RAWS data as well as other PWS stations but that delay is excessive.
