Sometimes there are error-replies such as

An error occurred while processing your request.  Reference #97.146bdfad.1457166463.348d068
but most often it is a simple

WU is working for me as of 8:15AM EST (01:15 Zulu).
Maybe they were doing some maintenance?

This was really raising havoc during the night with my whole site because of the Wx Extremes section in my nav bar.

To be quite honest... I havent seen a more unrealiable site than WU - considering its size and popularity. Look at other this popular sites, they do go down, but only very occasionally, for a much shorter period and most importantly - even if it was say DDOS attack, which is hard to prevent, then what disappointed me (but not surprised me) was that if you looked at other communication channels they have - i.e. twitter, fb etc. - even several hours after they went down there was not a single post about what is going on (but lot of people asking). This really should not happen and it is on average I would say at least once a month.

The WU site is back on! They send us an email if our station is offline for more than two hours, which is helpful because sometimes I don't notice when my computer stops uploading data because of a Windows update from Microsoft, or the dog tripping my USB cable, or whatever. Maybe we should return the favor to WU and email them when its servers are down!

Has anyone noticed any problems with WU today?

I seem to have problems reported from some users with some of my plugins that use WU, also, one user has absolutely nonsense data on his WU site (totally unrelated to Meteotemplate, his station sends directly) and I even encountered the 500 Internal Server Error two times today when trying to access wunderground.com
