Site News
Following are the changes and updates made to the site, in reverse chronological order. Keep and eye on this page to get the latest information on new features and additions to the site.
New League Tables Added
- Details
A new "League Tables" page has been added to the site, which provides a quick overview of previous monthly Min/Max/Average temperatures and rainfall, and how that compares to this month/year.
New HD WeatherCam Online
- Details
A new widescreen, high definition weathercam has gone live on the site today, bringing much clearer pictures and improved time-lapse video quality to the site.
Rain Gauge Temporary Failure
- Details
In the early hours of this morning, the weather station's rain gauge went offline. The faulty gauge has now been swapped out, as of 8:55am. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
System Status Page Added
- Details
A new Weather Station System Status page has been added to the site. This provides up-to-the-minute information on the state of the weather station sensors and data feeds, which keep the site's data current.
Mystery Rain Out Of Blue Sky
- Details
I thought I had better explain why, at this time of year when we're getting a bit of snow, the weather station occasionally reports rain, when the weathercam is showing clear blue sky!
Intermittent temp/humidity/wind sensor issue
- Details
Update 08:42 - All sensors are now back online and working normally, thankfully with minimal data loss. Investigation into the cause of the loss of connectivity will continue over the coming days. Until the cause has been found, temporary glitches may still occur.
We're currently experiencing intermittent connectivity issues with our wind and temperature/humidity sensors. The cause is not yet known and we're working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Apologies for any inconvenience caused in the meantime.
Advertise Your Business Here
- Details
If you run a Fife-based business and would like to reach a predominately Fife-based online audience, we've just launched a limited, trial advertising programme on FifeWeather.co.uk.
New Site Launched
- Details
Finally the new FifeWeather.co.uk website has arrived! After three solid months of work, both on the weather-station hardware and the web site itself, the new site has finally gone live.
Temporary Fix for Rain Gauge Issues
- Details
Apologies for the intermittent coverage of rainfall today, as the old station's rain gauge dropped out again mid-morning. The good news is that I believe I've managed to arrange a temporary solution, that should keep the rain gauge online now until the old station/website are replaced by the new station/site, hopefully next month.
Rain Gauge - Intermittent Failure
- Details
The bad news first: the old automatic weather station has developed yet another fault, this time with the rain gauge, which is resulting in intermittent failure to record rainfall.
The good news: the new station is operational and logging data, but this is not currently being published to the internet, although it is being recorded into the new weather database.
Once the new site goes live, hopefully early next month, the historical data from the new station will be present and correct. Obviously I'm focusing my energy at the moment on getting the new station online rather than investing time resolving issues with the old station.
Apologies for any inconvenience caused in the meantime.
