Radar Probs

[Paul]

This occurs when the radar data from the met-office doesn't arrive properly for a timeslot, there have been one or two issues with corrupt files lately which would cause it, plus we've had server downtime this morning which will have meant a few missing frames too.

[Kent Snow]

Yes I've just noticed that on flicking through the radar images, from last nights heavy showers.

EDIT: just see your reply Paul.

Ok thanks Paul, not much you can do then.

[Kent Snow]

Looks like there's a problem with the Radar.

[johnholmes]

have sent Paul an e mail

[Paul]

Apologies, all sorted and upto date now..

[A.J]

NW Radar seems to be stuck at 2150 hrs...anyone else experiencing this, or just me?

[Paul]

Yep I'm sorry we're having some data server issues again this evening, it's being looked into now.

[paul tall]

The radar hasn't updated since 8.40am, is that just me?

its working ok here paul.

[paul tall]

Hmm strange. I can't view member profiles either. Can you?

I updated Firefox at around 8.40 and this has all happened since then.

Just wondering why the radar is suddenly showing all snow rather than the rain and sleet it was about 5 mins ago.

22:25 shows rain over the sea but then 22:30 shows all snow?

Yeah, I noticed that too- must be an error surely?

Also, it was raining here earlier when the precip type showed snow.

[Paul]

The weather type isn't 100% accurate in every situation, it would be impossible for it to be so, particularly in a borderline situation where one location may have snow and another just a matter of metres higher or a little way down the road could have rain/sleet.

We've recently upgraded the system and it's offering a much more detailed and accurate view than the previous version though..

Thanks Paul, I know there are limitations with radar, just wanted to double check.

[A.J]

Not sure if its a problem at my end, but NW Extra radar V4 & V5 seem to be stuck at 0840hrs...Any ideas?

[pottyprof]

Same here AJ. Not your end. I've no doubt Paul will give it a swift kick..

[Paul]

The Metoffice have been doing some maintenance on their systems this morning (something to do with the firewall), which knocked out the data transfer to us for a bit, but it's back up and catching up now..

[Costa Del Fal]

The Netweather lightning detector doesnt seem to be working?

[Stuart]

Radar Stack on 11.55 this morning

[pottyprof]

V4 working normally. I suspect v5 is currently being worked on Stuart.. :lol:

Saying that V5 is working... just an hour behind.. :lol:

[we1330]

I can confirm that the Sferics detection doesn't seem to be working too
