WU has been quite odd with one of my stations lately. Slow updates, I lost my data quality sticker which happens every once in a while. We've had some extreme heat events so I assume once the weather returns to "normal" that will help. I also have slow upload speeds which I'm guessing impacts WU. I was just watching WU and although WU is receiving my realtime updates, they didn't update the data table for 15 minutes.
I think it is a WU problem for certain stations. Doug B.
