Hello there everyone,
Been a long time reader, and now a first time poster. I know there are many highly intelligent people on this forum and I need to ask a question. Upon access to Weather Underground today I noticed that my username at the top of the Wunderground site, the drop down box where you can select 'My Weather Stations', was coloured red, and so is the 'My Weather Stations' option.
Underneath my current station in question, a Davis Vantage Pro 2 in operation on Wunderground 24/7 since July 2011, (IDurhamC7), I see that it says 'Quality Control: The thermometer sensor on your weather station has not reported a change in temperature over the past 48 hours. Please check your weather station thermometer and weather station software. Please note that your station has been removed from the site. This message is to help you report accurate information.'
Now I've checked data for my station and it certainly has changed over the past few hours, but only slowly due to high levels of cloud and general murkyness here over the past few days. The maximum temperature attained today was 2.2 degrees Celcius, and now at 11pm its -3.1, but it still displays the 'Quality Control' message under current stations. If I log out and then back into Wunderground, the message and colour disappear for a few minutes before returning.
I'm just wondering if this is an error on WU's part with respect to a tight automatic quality control checker. Is this something that will reset at midnight or do I need to email Weather Underground to ask what's going on.
Thanks in advance,
Lewis,
