Hi Guys,
My webpage has big problems! Station data not displaying although it says the data is received, no Wundermap and no graphs. The page is overloading the CPU and bringing the browser to a standstill.
Anyone else having this much fun? :-(

Yes using Firefox . Keeps saying " web page slowing down browser What would you like to do " . Been trying all morning different things . Works in Firefox safe mode but not regular Firefox . Using Firefox 73.0 64 bit
-
Same problem. CPU could not handle it since I had 4 tabs trying to open 4 different stations. Having the problem in Firefox and Microsoft Edge. Funny thing is it works fine in Chrome. ](*,)
-
Not working well on Safari either. WU is using over 500% of the CPU. Google Chrome does not seem to be affected.
-
It's no wonder with all of the ads the page is trying to serve. Thank God for ad-blocker extensions!
-
Firefox 72.0.2, Windows 10, ad blocs activated, and page not loading here also.
-
I just double checked and it's working fine in Opera. I'm running UBlock in Opera as well and no problem.
-
Thanks, I have tried it in Safari on iPad and Firefox on Mac and it doesn’t work on either. Don’t know what to do next.......
-
Firefox and IE have ad blocker. WU does not work on either, but works fine in Chrome.
-
Not much you can do. Problem with WU like usual is my guess.
-
issues with WU on chrome and firefox.
-
Just got this from WU
" Hi, Michael
We have engineers working on this right now. Hopefully I will be able to let you know when the fix is out on the public web.
Thank you for letting me know!
-Victoria " .
So hopefully they will get this fixed sometime soon .
-
I just double checked and it's working fine in Opera. I'm running UBlock in Opera as well and no problem.
I have used uBlock in Firefox to eliminate a whole lot of the extraneous crap they stuff into that page and it has been running fine for me all day. When I turn it off everything screeches to a halt. At this point I am convinced nobody, not even their "engineers", know what they are doing.
-
Still broke here in VA Beach. Big Blue screwing things up again! Old Klingon proverb, if it ain't broke, don't fix it! It was an awesome web site back in the early 2000's before they took over!
-
www.wunderground.com/wundermap is causing the problem. If you try to load the page using Safari, Firefox, it hangs the browser on the page. Crome is working. The weather station page locks when it tries to load the map.

Any browser with less than 30% market share usage does not deserve any website to consider ensuring compatibility in the development of the website. Therefore I don't see why WU needs to worry about Safari or Firefox (3% and 8% market share respectively). You can't guilt them is what I'm saying. If they have limited resources for development then so be it. That compatibility responsibility falls on the given browser itself. Therefore any newcomer browser better make sure that they bring to market something that is compatible with current browser technology. Of course any browser can try and make an argument that what they have to offer is better but until the public agrees and adopts then you can't crucify any company that chooses to focus on where the majority of users are.
https://netmarketshare.com/browser-market-share.aspx
I've changed browsers many times to align with what I felt was going to give me the best experience. I've migrated from Mosaic, Netscape, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and finally to Chrome. Anyone still on Firefox has missed the memo that it's long been time to switch. Chrome has 67% market share. If you are still on Firefox then you are going down with the ship. Just like all those diehard Blackberry users did to the fateful end. Those on Safari I just don't know what to say....why? Stop drinking the kool-aid.
The right thing for Firefox (Mozilla) and Safari (Apple) to do if they want to stay relevant is to do what Microsoft is doing with the Edge browser. Microsoft is switching the Edge browser engine to Chromium which is the open source base that Chrome is built on. The benefit for Edge users is that if a website works on Chrome then it will work with the new Edge. This will grow the Edge market share. And websites will not need to worry and do extra development work and testing to ensure Edge compatibility, because the browser is the one that has taken the lead to be compatible with current browser technology. Microsoft once for a short while provided Internet Explorer for Mac. Well Microsoft is once again making their newest browser (Edge) available for Mac.
If you are a nitch browser with limited market share like Opera then you change your engine to what is current browser technology. Opera has changed browser engine many times and that is why Opera can continue to be relevant even with limited market share. Yes Opera too is now using Chromium.
-
@ galfert Microsoft edge isn't working either but the old IE is . At least I cant get it to fully load my WU page using the Edge . So maybe they should work on fixing what they screwed up and all browser should work again as they always have !! They WU screwed this up not the browser makers .

The new Edge based on Chromium is not available yet unless you want to install that version. You have to opt for it. Microsoft isn't automatically pushing it out...yet.
-
@Galfert. Thank you for your very interesting explanation of the market shares of the various browsers, but this is a fault in the Wundermap causing the pages to not load properly on almost all interfaces. The bigger question is how did a giant like IBM manage to destroy a great website, it’s like they don’t give a damn for the thousands of amateur meteorologists who provide them with a mountain of data absolutely free!
-
WU/IBM managed to mess things up simply by changing and evolving the website to utilize new programming code that apparently only works with Chrome. It wasn't deliberate. Developers code with the tools and programing skills that they have picked up. It takes deliberate extra testing to see if new code breaks compatibility with less popular browsers. Sometimes making things work the same in different browsers can be challenging or sometimes it is impossible and compromises have to be made where it works but is less than optimum.
I don't doubt that WU/IBM will fix this issue eventually, if you have the patience. But my premise is to say to the users, "why don't you empower yourself and use what will ensure a better experience?"
It is an oversite. But why expose yourself to this risk when the solution is simple? Change your browser. I'm sure that there are many other websites that today don't work right unless you are using Chrome (or other Chromium based browser). It is possible that some websites are performing poorly for you and you don't even realize it. I'm just saying that you don't have much to stand on if you use a browser that has less than 10% market share.
-

Sad to see you've turned into an IBM cheerleader.
Chrome is a data miner and a resource hog. It has turned into exactly what google promised it would not be. If IBM is trying to force all WU visitors to it they've gone down the wrong rabbit hole.
This is not the first time WU has released code into production which simply does not work right. It has nothing to do with browser market share nor does it have anything to do with any other sites (which, by the way, are working just fine with Firefox and every other browser). The primary issue with WU now is that all of the javascript load-on-demand crap is so poorly implemented that it interferes with itself. You can see that with the multiple "page loads" going on to just display something simple like the current temp on a PWS. This ALSO happens with Chrome on Android.

I'm not an IBM fan when it comes to how they have handled WU. I'm a realist. I use Chrome not because IBM dictated it. I use Chrome since it started becoming the most prevalent and reliable solution offering the features I want with speed and compatibility.

I don't subscribe to that data miner conspiracy theory. Resource hog you say?...depends on your system and available resources and what junk you've allowed as extensions and how many irrelevant multitude of tabs you feel the need to keep open at all times. If you really want a leaner experience then run Chromium that doesn't have the extra Google stuff added.
This is not the first time WU has released code into production which simply does not work right.
I agree there.

Yes I agree that even on Chrome the WU experience is subpar. WU/IBM is not hiring the best developers and they aren't doing due diligence in development and testing even on Chrome.

UPDATE
From WU : Hi again!
The Weather Underground site should be working again now. Please be sure to press reload/refresh on your browser to ensure that you get the current version of the page(s). If you continue to have any trouble, please let me know.
Thank you for your patience, and thank you for using Weather Underground!
--Victoria
Make sure you clear your history and cache !!!! It's working on Firefox as of now after I cleared everything !!
-
Bottom line is that no matter how hard you try to make the snake tap dance, it'll never happen. IBM has destroyed what was a good, reliable, source of weather data. They keep making the same rookie mistake, fielding new code without proper testing. This isn't the first time they've done this, more like the unteenth. Let's be honest, it's being run by amateurs, if we're lucky, or more likely people reading Java for Dummies the first time. Throw in management that can't plan, or if they can their plans are based on such optimistic viewpoints as to be un-meetable.
End of rant.

All good again now! Shouldn’t have taken all this fuss though.

Ok on Safari as well.

Recently out of beta, Brave is an intriguing new fast browser based on Chrome. It might be a game changer.
From article intro: A long period of beta incubation has come to an end with the release of Brave 1.0, the privacy-focused speed demon of a browser that's been turning heads with its cavalier approach to ad-blocking and its promises of cryptocurrency payouts. The open source brainchild of Javascript creator and Mozilla project co-founder Brendan Eich, Brave now touts more than 8 million users worldwide, while promising to automatically block trackers and invasive ads to improve speed, privacy and battery life.

I'm a realist.
I am too, which is why instead of relying on my own opinion I rely on metrics and statistics. The WU website is horrid on ANY browser, and this is why:

I was wondering why WU crashes when accessing any of my 3 pws on WU using my iPad. It crashes because I use Safari—never an issue til very recently. Works fine on my iPad if using Edge—just kind of a hassle! Maybe IBM and WU don’t like Apple for some reason. I never thought it would be a browser issue, but apparently it is.
I am using WU app version 6.2.1 and iOS 13.3.1, both of which purportedly are the most recent versions of the software.
All the other sites that I upload to, CWOP, Windy, Davis, Weathercloud, WOW, etc., work fine with Safari.
-
Works fine with Safari on my iPad after the fixed the bad code on the web page.

It looks OK today in Chrome anyway, Incidentally I'm INORTHYO13 :lol:
I have seen various things simply not loading before.
They seem incapable of keeping the webcam image up for more than a few weeks, I have given up with it on there.
-
I am waiting for the release of the Ambient Weather web page on March 1st. Includes station maps and forecasting. Hopefully more reliable than WU.
-
Offline a hour ago..webcam still "work"..complete disaster...... #-o
-
It has become a complete joke, nothing working at all. Never an apology, never a warning of down time. In all my years I have never run into an organisation like this, and it used to be so good! 🙁
-
Wunderground uploads from Davis Weatherlink.com (and maybe others) appear to have stopped at 08:48 UT. Webcam images are still uploadinmg, but the data stopped.
-
I just recently moved, so I've got my VP2 mounted again in my yard, and I changed my station name on wunderground (station ID kmauxbri10). Everything was great until around 3:45am today, when the station began reporting as offline. Nothing changed to the configuration except the name, but I doubt that would have anything to do w. it, especially considering that the name change occurred yesterday around 6pm
Not much info to go on, I know, but anyone know what might have happened? Is something up w. WU right now?
I can get a screenshot of my config page later today if it would help

down...

Was I right, or was I right? I can't even take credit for being right. The odds were just stacked.
Oh IBM, please just sell WU to Google or Amazon or something.
-
I thought it was just me, my Ecowitt GW1000 stopped uploading at 3:49 AM. My unreliable internet service cuts out every other night between 1:30 AM and 4:00 AM so I attributed it to that, but nope, everything else still going.
-
I wonder if the missing WU data (beginning for me at 3:48 ET) will reappear at some point or be permanently lost?
-
I'm getting the feeling that IBM couldn't order a hamburger at McDonald's.
-

If you look at your upload log (if your console/software has that) you can see that the upload is successfully uploading. In the past when WU has had issues but the upload is successful no data has been lost. Basically there are two parts to consider, the servers that you upload to (part of the back end) and then there is the front end which is the website you see that pulls the data from the back end database servers. In this case today the problem is the front end. I think all the data will show up at some point. This isn't the first time this has happened.
-

Mine is back up and the missing data now filled in.
-
Back up in the UK too, but I have lost all confidence. When will it fail again? 🙁
-
WU now works with Safari again! Wonders never cease!
-
Gotta wonder why WU/IBM don't fire "Brutus"?
-
Back to work here too...well see for how long before...

As of 8:15am PST your station is up and running on WU : https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMAUXBRI10
You may want to check your software and hardware because it's not showing wind nor direction of wind . Don't know what it showed before .
-
No problems, on my WU page.
-
Gotta wonder why WU/IBM don't fire "Brutus"?
He's the only one left working there.

You know thinking about it, you're probably right. The big problem is that he's writing the code now, too.

Actually all the WU Staff are hard at work correcting all problems:

Unfortunately I feel WU is like the cockroaches that were subjected to thousands of times the lethal radiation a human could tolerate on MythBusters and were happily oblivious.

Yeah, the anemometer isnt up yet. The rain gauge and thermometer are, but not the anemometer. That's fine though. All in due time!

This latest episode is akin to a 4-year-old left alone in a control room wondering what the big green/red button does ... ooops, there goes the electricity supply for the entire city.
Oddly enough, while PWS dashboards suffered a crash globally, all PWS data seemed to be still uploading fine (as per other post). In fact, you could at that time view a sanitised version of PWS current weather conditions via the Forecast page, using the "Change Station" link to bring up the map of nearby stations (each showing current temp) and the tabulated summary data for nearby stations including one's own PWS. The radar map on the forecast page also seemed to be working ok while the dashboard and its radar map were completely down.
-
The data is loading, true, but am I the only one not seeing any stations appear on the map on the dashboard?

Hi All
I've always wondered why and what is the fascination with WU? Excuse my ignorance but I don't understand. I have a PWS with a website. I use WD and send data to WU, I use a link to the wundermap but that's about all. Why is it such an issue? Like I said, I don't understand.
-
My station went missing from WU for a few hours and all historical data prior to 2:19 PM 2/17/2020 has disappeared from my station page.

Reminds me of the show WKRP in Cincinnati. Oh the humanity........

There are some things that are unique to WU that no other service has:
- Rapidfire live uploading and viewing of station weather data.
- Unlimited historical data for station going back years (for free). Technically I believe AWEKAS and WOW are the only other ones with unlimited free historical data (hardly a normal thing).
- Among a multitude of weather station brands and models at all price ranges, WU is the one common service that they all support without needing to add or set up additional hardware or software. Weather Station manufactures have created this situation by many times making WU the exclusive upload service or often the exclusive plus their own cloud service and nothing more.
- Some 3rd party smart services only work with WU. For example Hydrawise irrigation system.
So sure there are other alternatives to WU...but those things are unique to WU compared to any other service, which make it an added effort for many to use anything else, and then you'd be giving up those unique features with other online services. If you get what you need to upload live data and unlimited historical data then the only option is your own personal hosted site. That adds ongoing cost and maintenance and technical knowledge. Then you are off on your own silo and with limited exposure to your station because you aren't where everyone else is.
If WU just worked and was reliable like it was years ago, then you'd have it all. People are just missing those good ol' days.

Cheers mate. Now I understand. Many thanks

Has Rapidfire been working at all the last month? I'm getting intervals close to a minute much of the time, and it should be every few seconds...

I'd say yes, rapidfire has been working. It only refreshes the updated counter every 5 seconds it seems which is independent to your upload rate. If you upload every 5 secs or less then I've seen where the WU updated indicator counter can be a bit problematic. Not that it isn't updating your data but that it may have a hard time catching up to your data upload rate and confirming your last update. Try changing your upload rate to 5 or 10 seconds or maybe every 6 seconds and see what results you get. I bet you'll notice that issue you may be having only occurs when your upload is 5 secs or less.

Unfortunately, the Cumulus legacy app either loads WU in either 1 min or more intervals, OR, via RapidFire support. There is no documentation stating how fast that RF upload is occurring so I can't modify it.
Thing is, until things went really wonky on WU last month, it all worked just fine. Now everything is just intermittent. It's up, it's down, something works, everything works...that's why I bought a Davis WLL hub so I could read live temp, wind and rain data, but that app is full of bugs.

Hmm...yeah Cumulus 1 has that limitation. I'm sure the WU changes don't help. But the WLL will only give you live data when your mobile device is on the local network. If you want another means of live data (to view remotely on the Internet) then you'll have to resort to putting up your own website with one of the various weather templates. WLL will then have to feed some 3rd party software so that you can then upload via the weather template. There are many options for the software and for the templates.

Just lost the ability to log in although the data is there....
-
Well they screwed something up again ](*,) . Seems now over half the station in my area no longer show up on the wundermap since yesterday . My station is also MIA but since I saved my location to a bookmark I can see it's working A-OK and updating as before it's just not showing on the map .
-
Hopefully they are trying to fix the wind vane spider issue.
-
Gray spot and no station. It shows reporting. Rebooted bridge and it was back in 15 minutes. Half of the other stations around me went MIA. Some are back others not so lucky.
Aarg.....
-
Hopefully they are trying to fix the wind vane spider issue.
Mine came back and the wind vane spider legs AKA the stick man has disappeared . Also some of the other station around me are now showing on the map .
-
Now works with Safari—an improvement but many pws do not show up on mapbox including my 3 pws, which WU is publishing and calling online. I couldn’t find any Goldstar stations which may be a positive—eliminates a great concept but poorly executed by WU making the Goldstar a joke.
The historical data WU accumulated on my 3 pws over the years remains intact, as Galfert stated previously, is a great benefit of uploading to WU.
-
The data is loading, true, but am I the only one not seeing any stations appear on the map on the dashboard?
No, you're not the only one (I actually see a couple of stations but the VAST majority are missing). Geez, if it's not one thing broken, it's another...
-
Offline again. Love it
-
Well another update , as of this morning my station and over 3/4 of the station in my area are no longer showing on Wundermaps on either my WU page or the big map !! So unless you have bookmarked there stations or remember there station ID then theirs now way to see them . Come on WU stop doing updates that are ruining WU for the users !!!!!!
-
Much more of this ludicrous. The new Aeris PWS BETA is a nice format. It now has forecasting as well as a dashboard. They are working out the bugs. Also Ambient is going live on March 1st with their new format that also includes forecasting. I believe that there will be a major exodus from WU over the next few months. Others have come in to fill the void. Amazing that WU took a good working model and broke it in the same length of time others have built theirs from scratch.
-
I don't see my PWS on Wundermap. Also I see only 2 stations around. There were about 10 stations at least. I tried accept privacy policy in settings, but that's not help.

Looks like in the past week there have been some service issues with stations falling off the map. I don't think that any station stopped being able to report. So the good news is no data loss. Although some early February data missing reports have been made. I think that data will return if it is anything like the previous data missing from July 2019.
Today as I checked a few times during the day the map started showing stations bit by bit. It is rather interesting that they don't just populate the map all at once. It seemed to happen over the course of a few hours. My neighbor's station (500 feet away) showed up first. Then one of my stations showed up much later (I have several stations in the same area)...and then finally it seems to be a full map now (maybe).
Good news also is that the wind vane spider issue seems to have been fixed. The map (little map on dashboard) is updating and showing wind correctly.
Wondermap (the big map) though does freeze sometimes still and requires browser refresh.
baby steps....and patience. I just don't know why WU doesn't just copy the systems(s) and create a test environment to play [test] with.

I haven't stared at it more than a minute or two, but it appears rapidfire updates may be starting to show a bit more frequently. I'll get an occasional 20-30 second pause, but I'm seeing many more in the 3-8 second range today.

Well WU giveth and WU taketh away the same day . I have no idea what's going on with WU and maybe they don't either . I looked this afternoon and my station and all the others around me where on the map and everything was looking good . But the temp was frozen and never updated on the map unless you refreshed it . Later on ever time I refreshed my WU page certain station started disappearing . Now my station and 3/4 of the ones around me are gone again from the map . I know my station working because the rapid fire is working great it's just the map and if other are looking at my area they will never see all the missing station .
I wrote WU as I have before but this time I haven't got any response from anyone there . I believe and I could be wrong this all started when someone there tried to fix the wind vanes on the map from looking like stick people running real fast and what ever they did fixed that but now station are only showing part time on the map . OH well cant wait to see what tomorrow will bring to the site !!

The disappearing stations is still occurring.
Stations are disappearing and then coming back repeatedly. As noted before they don't all reappear all at once and it takes several hours. What I've noticed also is that the order of reappearance is random as every time different stations show up before others.

At this rate, WU might as well ditch the map entirely. I have noticed that first thing in the morning additional stations show up like normal, but by mid morning nothing shows other than the circle for my own station rendering the map totally useless.
-
Seems every time there is some kind of storm coming the personal weather station get shut down Just my thought in Northeast Ohio.... :roll:
-
I hope I don't jinks it but my station has been showing on the map for over 5 hours . And all the other stations around me are still on the map even when I have to refresh it . Maybe just maybe something clicked on again ?

Tim Roche from WU stated 13 hours ago:
Stations disappearing off the wundermap should be resolved now. Apologies for the glitch, we had a system that was not functioning correctly, but also reporting that it was healthy. This was causing stations to fail our QC checks incorrectly. We are aware of this strange failure mode, and will work to get an alert set up to catch it in the future

Hello folks!
I set up my PWS (Davis Vantage Pro2) in December 2019. On WU I frequently have problems showing the station as "offline" whereas it is definitely online - I can see that on WeatherLink for example. This is annoying. Contacted the WU support three times, but never got a reply ...
Anyone here with similar problems?
-
That's the tip of the iceberg. A few threads here about the chaos at WU. My camera has been MIA for months.
-
"Funny" thing (just noticed): When I go to "My Profile" > "My Devices" on WU, it shows my PWS as "online". When I click on it it shows as "offline" and no data is displayed for the last two hours ...
Hopefully they will be able to get this straight soon.
-
I just noticed mine shows the same thing as yours this morning even though I see my info being sent to WU by my software Weather Display.
-
WeatherUnderground is a bad joke. Not only has their service become unreliable at best, but the various apps and websites all display different data in different formats. Also, the formats keep getting prettier, but less usable.
-
Mines doing the same thing - Showing OFFLINE - at first I thought it was my station but I then directly logged into it and no issues....
-
Just noticed that everyone seems to be offline. Would I be right?
-
Just to let you know that I have the exact same problem.
At first I thought the problem was with me.
Hopefully, WU will get it organized in a hurry.
-
Looking around seems like most if not all dashboards are down. Data still shows on WU map, however.
-
Yes, I am finding the same. Dashboards on the app don’t show any data.
-
Yep.. Mine (data on webpage) is down as well. Has been for about last 4 1/2 hours :-(
-
Down here in the UK too. 🙁
-
I saw that when I checked this morning, showing "off line". Seems the last data entered was at 03:57EDT. I just shrugged, normal behavior for a once reliable weather site.
-
Looks like I'm not the only one! My stations went offline from WU around 3:30AM EST Friday morning. I can still access station information via MyAcurite.
-
Glenn, same here from 1 mile south of the Vt. border.
The graph (from clicking on the station's temp icon) at Wundermap shows that data ceased at 3:58 a.m. for my station.
-
Same here.
-
This notice just posted.

Up and running again for the time being. It doesn't appear that there is any data loss.
-
....and it looks like stations are starting to come back online now. It is hit or miss as the cluster restarts and syncs up.
It is what you get when something is held together by duct tape, gum, spit and baling wire, and you do your code development on a live system instead of a testing environment.

At last, communication! Well done for telling us what is going on Wunderground! [tup]

Well it is a start. But I wouldn't give them high marks just yet. The outage lasted over 6 hours and the notice only went up 15 minutes before the issue was fixed.
-
True, but it beats the usual silence!
-
...prettier, but less usable.
My second biggest peeve after camera MIA
Space wasting, poorly scalable, foolish looking mordern-esque poorly presented graphical nightmares.

Thinking about it, they could leave that banner up there permanently, kind of describes what goes on fairly well.

Just another storm in the "IBM Cloud". Nothing to see here...move along.
