It all seems to be working again @ 21:00hrs.
Here too @ 2110.
I noticed that earlier on Martin had added a temporary "there's a problem" banner to the SCWN mesomap page.
I wonder if the php behind the standard mesomap page could gain a bit of extra "intelligence" to include something of the sort automatically if the data had become obviously "stale", e.g. if the "
to" time in the "
Conditions data shown was collected" bit is more than some threshold, say an hour?
The time range is there to see, but if people are used to data being current, they may well not look at the "
Conditions data shown was collected" for some time, whereas a banner that's not usually there would stand out.
Just a thought. Hopefully this sort of problem is going to be as rare in the future as it has been in the past.
