Why is the “Current Conditions” weather page displaying old data?
The “Current Conditions” weather page displays the most recent 15 minute averaged meteorological data and is updated on the hour and at 15, 30 and 45 minutes past each hour. Occasionally, for the reasons listed below, the data are not updated as scheduled and a message “NOTE: DATA IS XX MINUTES OLD” is displayed next to the data/time stamp of the data being displayed. The reasons for the data not being updated as scheduled could be: • The met tower may be offline. This can occur due to scheduled maintainence, emergency maintainence and hardware failure. • The computers serving the data may not be able to communicate. This could be the result of hardware, software or network problems. • There can be latency between the software that collects the data from Sandia National Laboratory and the software that serves it to the web.
