ESTOFEX?

[SimonP]

Hi all,

 

I noticed the past week or so that no Estofex forecasts have been issued, and so upon checking the website encountered this message a couple of days ago:

 

We regret that until further notice no forecasts are issued due to a technical problem. We are working to resolve it as soon as possible. The ESTOFEX team.

 

Now the site just reveals a 503 message saying they are offline for maintenance. 

 

Does anyone have any more information? 

 

Cheers,

Simon

Taken from their FB page:

 

Their twitter feed has been offline since the 21st April too - must be a big new server?

Their current Facebook page does have some brief forecasts:

As of now, we are working hard on resolving our technical issues so we can get back to you with our regular outlooks. For today, forecaster would probably study carefully the region of Southeastern Poland into Northern Ukraine, where very favorable vertical wind profiles should be observed along and south of the lifting warm front. This region might see some supercells capable of large hail, severe wind gusts and an isolated tornado is not ruled out either! Another area, but with only slight risk of severe should be southern France. This country will probably see more severe weather tomorrow . Stay tuned for further updates!

While Estofex is offline, you can still see reports of severe weather and get forecasts/reports from some of the individual countries through the ESWD site.

I've moved the Italian tornado footage and discussion in to it's own thread

Thanks Paul.

 

Many thanks Coast, weather09, Gael_Force for the information. Lots of interesting stuff on their Facebook page... I hope they'll keep posting on there when they start issuing forecasts again, particularly real-time stuff!
