REST API just no longer providing all data

Just noticed things not working correctly and found that some of the data is missing in the “current conditions” of the REST api response.
Some are there (e.g. air density,air temperature, conditions, etc.), some are wrong ( -is_precip_local_day_rain_check showing false, should be true), many are just missing ( all of the lightning and precipitation data except precipitation_probability).

Is something broken? has something changed? or am I just holding it wrong?
Thanks

Same here - just opened a thread on the topic as well.

Edit: Closed out my thread to not muddy the waters on the issue.

Good to know it’s not just me. So I guess that increases the probability that something is just broken. Hope it gets fixed soon. This is the only time around here that the weather is very interesting.

I’m currently writing in Try/Except checks for the missing keys to get my display back online. I agree that it’s nice to know it’s not just me :slight_smile:

I’ve found that at least wind data is reporting incorrectly as well. The app is showing correct data, but the API is saying I have average wind speeds of 7 and gusts of 18:

“wind_avg”:7.0,“wind_direction”:196,“wind_direction_cardinal”:“SSW”,“wind_gust”:18.0}

Correct Data:

You guessed it, another Edit.

All data in the API is wrong. Temp is off 5 degrees, humidity is off, the works. You can confirm this easily by looking at the Weather tab in the app, then checking the raw data on the station.

I wonder if this https://community.tempest.earth/t/latest-ios-app-broken/26936?u=charles.suttonhome is related. The timing of the referenced update is about the time I started seeing the issue.

Interesting. I wish I had an Idea of when it started for me, I just happened to see the display blinking like crazy as the service restarted over and over which tipped me off to an issue. Good catch on that!

This morning `/better_forecast’ observation section stopped reporting any precip metrics - had provided it there for years.

Just popped into the API - looks like all the data is back and correct!
