Due to the storm (see item below) there was a loss of some services from the website.
The mains power went out at 2100 that evening and I kept the server running using a generator so that the live updates would continue through the storm. Unfortunately I had to turn the generator off at just after 1am and mains power wasn't restored until 4:30pm the following day.
One other effect of the storm was my broadband connection. As with most of the Island I suffered a reduction in broadband service on the night of the storm. This meant that I couldn't download the data the software needed to produce the forecasts or the pressure maps. This has now been sorted and we are back to normal.
A big "Thanks" to the Scottish Hydro and BT engineers who have been working to restore supplies.
On another equipment note: The webcam is playing up at the moment so is not live and the movies are not being made. I will get this sorted ASAP but it may be a week or so. Sorry about that.
