Metar server down ?

(1/7) > >>

wvdkuil:
More then half the requests for a METAR from http://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov result in errors since yesterday.

Example:
USA:   http://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observations/metar/stations/KMMU.TXT
Europe: http://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observations/metar/stations/EBBR.TXT

Errors such as Connection reset by peer or a timeout, even after 10 seconds.

Any ideas?
Is there another source for raw METAR data?

The METAR is used to get current-weather-conditions (CCN) for weather-sites using a weather-program which does not supply CCN

P.S. Leuven-Template users can switch to Yahoo to get CCN by changing the appropriate setting.

Same here, I've been seeing it often hangs site for about 10 seconds when it occurs.

Went ahead and comment out // conditions metar for now.  It's been bad all day. Really last month or more. :sad:

I'm surprised others haven't noticed , if they have not much is being mentioned or maybe it's just my region again.  I went as far as ordering a solar sensor trying to get away from METAR altogether.

Looks like the tgftp.nws.noaa.gov server is back running.. maybe they are moving stuff around to new servers ?!?.. didn't see any pre-outage notices on the NWS mailing list.

ValentineWeather:
Looks like metar server is down again.
