Apparently they went off line at about 7:10PM EDT and came back on line at about 10:30PM EDT last night. Such dependability from the IBM "cloud", or is that mud?

Still basically dead at 11:34 AM, South central WI. Current conditions are OK, but nothing else. Todays historical data is wrong , no charts or graphs.

The hysterical data for my station seems OK for yesterday, other than the slopes introduced by no data, and today looks, what passes for, normal.

I find it funny ( and sad ) that after all the IBM servers went down and came back up that WU has worked perfect since then . So all there lies about what the problem was for not updating properly for the last months could have been resolved with a simple reboot

. Someone should teach IBM about the old CTR- ALT-Delete function

Back from the dead...lost over three hours of data. Typical IBM. I really don't know why anyone uses them for anything these days.

Yep have to agree. I really would love to see the Weather community just ditch WU altogether and help IBM put it out of its misery. There are far better online services that just work for weather enthusiasts without any of the hassle that WU is provided us over the years.

Well 99% of Acurite pws users are locked into WU. And that's a lot of people. Is Acurite ever going to allow their customers to use the other weather upload sites by opening up their protocols? They've been stubborn to this day. Maybe a deteriorating WU will get them to change their policy.

the reason for the outage will most likely be, a disgruntled employee being told "YOU'RE FIRED" in which the irrate individual turned of all the servers before he went home lol

Wundermap is now showing COVID-19 cases by county, so I don't think WU is ready to go away.

Well, we can groan and moan about WU, and IBM, but it looks like the problem wasn't identically with either.

https://www.computerweekly.com/news/252484450/IBM-Cloud-users-demand-further-clarity-over-cause-of-global-outage

Of course, even so, a major cloud ought to more resilient to such issues.

Sounds kinda like a BGP screwup from an external provider misdirecting packets. Two years ago, Google went down because of this. Such BGP misconfigs are things that IBM ought to have measures in place to prevent.

The Covid-19 feature is broken in the UK just like most of WU's services

danxx · « **Reply #34 on:** June 11, 2020, 04:01:29 PM »

I see COVID cases in Wundermap for the whole world. In the U.S. it's shown county-by-county (if you zoom all the way in), state-by-state if zoomed further out. Outside the U.S., and fully zoomed out in the U.S. it's country-by-country.

WU stopped updating my station about an hour ago (0855 EDT). I see just a few stations in my area so I guess I'm not alone.

Yup. The good news is the the servers are successfully accepting data. This means that it is only a front end (web page display) problem. The back end (ingest servers) is working and in the past when this would happen the data eventually shows and there are no gaps, no missing data.

sailingby · « **Reply #37 on:** August 19, 2020, 10:08:16 AM »

Same for me and the majority of weather stations around me in my part of the UK.

Elgin · « **Reply #38 on:** August 19, 2020, 10:12:53 AM »

Finally back on line...but stations around me are still down. Must be bringing them on one at a time...

I'm down still, if I go to devices I'm online but nothing else.

sailingby · « **Reply #41 on:** August 19, 2020, 11:15:32 AM »

Mines back up and running, missing 2 hours worth of data though.

I don't think it is back yet... I am still off line... Eugene, Oregon

Dead. Lets hope so.

cbull23 · « **Reply #46 on:** August 19, 2020, 12:41:43 PM »

Yup my station is offline. Last update was 11:32 am on my graph.

cbull23 · « **Reply #47 on:** August 19, 2020, 01:29:11 PM »

Seems like it’s back up and running. My dashboard is loading once again (mostly). No data loss.

TraderGary · « **Reply #48 on:** August 19, 2020, 01:44:35 PM »

I'm getting 1 minute updates instead of my normal rapid-fire 5 second updates.

TraderGary · « **Reply #49 on:** August 19, 2020, 04:14:26 PM »

And now I'm back to my normal rapid-fire 5 second updates as if nothing ever happened!
