Nothing unique anymore if you dont have those 10 minute OBS. I say fix it or lose a lot of people regularly looking to WZone for the latest observations. I am sure a loss in silver subscriptions to Wzone will make them change it back. Just get it sooner rather than later.

Popeye Weatherzone Addict Registered: 30/12/2006 Loc: Cable Beach, Broome.	I just sent a form to the Wzone site asking if they can bring it back up. Hope they can sift through all the letters to get the 10 minute obs back up. I know we all tend to rely on the internet for information too much these days but when the winds go from 8-13knts easterly to 12-16knts then up to 16-23knots all within half an hour its crucial to be able to make decisions based on this information. Especially when you run sea kayaking tours with a bunch of gumbies out on the water in school holidays ATM. Nahh we have relied on Wzone 10 minute obs for years now. I hope they dont just revert back permanently to the 30 minute obs. Too much can happen in 30 minutes these days and why go backwards in technology. If anything they should be 5 minute obs for wzone silver memberships if thats the kind of info you want from a weather site. Anyway enough rant, better be back to me bottle of red wine.

!SCHUMMY! Weatherzone Addict Registered: 22/04/2008 Loc: Jimboomba, SEQ	i think there is just a glitch, there has been temp problems for the 10min updates for a while now, they might be doing a site upgrade and had to take it out for the short term i dont know but i highly doubt its out permanently _________________________ Youtube: TheSchummy08 Facebook: Aussie Storm Chasers Website: http://www.aussiestormchasers.com

Popeye Weatherzone Addict Registered: 30/12/2006 Loc: Cable Beach, Broome.	Response from wzone. Hi, Popeye Our observation data is provided from the Bureau of Meteorology. I checked BoM's website and confirm only 30 min obs is available. http://reg.bom.gov.au/wa/broome/observations.shtml Regards, weatherzone Where have they been getting the 10 minute obs from for the last 5 years then. Strange.
