Hi guys,
surprise, surprise… Weather Underground is down again. Those of you who use WU as the means of updating your template will have to import the missing data retrospectivally (if it is available at all, because it could be that WU is not saving your PWS data now at all).
Most of you probably know what my opinion about WU is…. I will use this opportunity to again emphasize that if you have the possibility to use ANY of the other means of updating your template (Weather Display, Meteobridge, Cumulus, WeatherCat, NetAtmo, WANET, Meteohub, WeeWx, WeatherLink, custom file on the server), then please do so. Only use WU if absolutely necessary.
WU is highly unreliable, provides inaccurate data (you don’t even want to know about some practices of WU, such as how they calculate the daily average temperature… which is in my opinion just a bad joke) and an appalling support.
And last but not least, I have decided I will never use WU for any new blocks or plugins in the future again. I will keep those that already exist, but creating something that uses it is first of all complicated and second, it is not reliable and inconsistent so only causes confusion and is not worth it.
Someone should take away their gold star!!!!! 🙂
