Some of the data is stale on https://t.co/ChYWPK6F3E We are no longer receiving some of the weather information from ECCC data feed. No ETA to resolve this.
https://t.co/ChYWPK67e6 will have a 30 minute downtime between May 7 23:00 EDT and May 8 01:00 EDT due to maintenance window from our internet service provider.
Hi all... just wanted to let you know we did a major hardware upgrade today. The web site should be a bit faster to render thanks to moving the database load to a second server in the datacentre.
Twitter has been suspending our various location-based twitter accounts. We've been requesting reinstatement. Just mentioning this in case you can't see tweets from favourite location.
All remaining automated tweets are now discontinued due to twitter's API limits. Our free volunteer-run service cannot pay thousands of dollars per month to continue doing these updates. Website and email still work as usual.
We will be suspending all the remaining weather conditions updates. We have better things to do with our volunteer than continually fighting with @twitter to unsuspend our accounts.
๐จWe have been sending out about 125,000 tweets every month. It is likely that as a volunteer-run platform we will no longer be able to send automated weather update tweets as of February 9, 2023.
@mr_wilson3@wc_nanaimo There is no rain/snow data coming from the Airport anymore. We added CHEMAINUS weather station to substitute for the missing data. See https://t.co/vYtCflTHhV for the list of weather stations used.
@a_brauweiler@EddieSheerr@kylebrookings weatherstats combines data from multiple nearby observation stations, which may come up with different values for when a "record" is set vs the ECCC values.
