« on: January 04, 2018, 12:11:19 AM »
thats the message i got. Im the new guy here and i check habitually WU and so far i was doing great but today was not one of them....message kept telling me something with server was happening.  I guess we all have issues so should they.  Looks like NOW at least it is 95% working.

Still a lot of dead links on their own damn pages.  To wit:  https://www.wunderground.com/weather-radar/ is 404 right from the front page.

Stick a fork in them...it's over.

I found this from what looks like an official WU rep,      hope they fix it soon!

"API not working
 PROBLEM  UPDATED 25 MINUTES AGO

There is a webserver problem with our data in cloud hosting provider.  They shut down all of the instances and they are not coming back up correctly.  We have all hands on deck and are working through the problems as quickly as possible.  Please bear with us as we work to fix this.

Today zip 93727 (this morning actually) same thing....and probably later today it will probably be the same(?) i just recently signed up and frankly Wunderground has been a bit disappointing.  I like to have a site more consistent with their product.  Any alternative sites where i can look up my PWS (from anywhere) on my cell phone? nah, im not a meteorologist by any stretch of the imagination.  I like to look things up occasionally and go hmmmm ... i think they call it a hobby 8-)

We are still working on the problem.  Bringing everything back online created a network switch problem.  IT continues to address the issue.

I prefer PWS Weather to WU

https://www.pwsweather.com/

You can also send to CWOP

http://www.wxqa.com/

It will give you a page like this:

http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/wxpage.cgi?call=DW0148!Euchee&last=12

I don't need a lot of bells and whistles.  I like easy to read tabular data.  They're accessible with a bookmark in a browser.

Just some food for thought.

Any alternative sites where i can look up my PWS (from anywhere) on my cell phone? nah, im not a meteorologist by any stretch of the imagination.  I like to look things up occasionally and go hmmmm ... i think they call it a hobby 8-)

IBM needs to give it up before they ruin things any further. There was nothing wrong with the original Wundermap. The mapbox crap is pathetic. Why would you buy something like this and then wreck it? All the money these huge companies have and they squander their employees and their users. Greedy. They are four flushing.

Just noticed that none of the maps on my website have not been updated since Jan 3.

Its not you, its WU.

That was actually greedy Google. They instituted insanely high rates for map usage that would have bankrupted WU. OpenStreetMap & mapbox are still free (or cheap).

I noticed that weather station uploads died overnight. I have a gap in my WU data from 7pm to 1:30am PST last night. Let’s hope this isn’t a pattern.
