Hi Paul,

Are there any plants to add ML CAPE/MU CAPE etc to the UKV charts or is the available data restricted to SB CAPE only?

Thanks.

[Paul]

It's something we'd like to add, but there's no direct data field for any sort of CAPE in the raw data we receive from the Met Office, so it all has to be calculated on our side. Surface based cape was the easier one to do that with initially, so we've started there and will hopefully be able to move onto the others.

 any thoughts on adding ukv Skew t charts? 

[Paul]

Yep, that's on the roadmap.

[Eastern Scotland WX]

Wow that would be a great addition. What is getting added onto UKV next? 

[Paul]

I think updated chart designs and a range of new chart types will be up next. Followed, by the new chart viewer system. 

[Eastern Scotland WX]

Hi Paul.

when you mean chart designs is this like a new temperature scale, would be nice to see that revamped along with the wind and rain scales on the ukv model?

The charts haven't been displaying when I've looked on there today

Edit: Just tried in another browser and it worked in that so it's only in chrome it's not working

I had issue with Edge (Chrome based) a few days ago. If I forced a site refresh (CTRL + F5) the charts updated to the correct Z time. If I simply pressed F5 or manually refreshed, it would revert back to a 9Z chart - all day this was happening. 

I completely cleared everything and it seemed to fix the problem.

Just tried exactly what you did and it was the same. It worked after CTRL + F5 but wouldn't work properly until I cleared site data. Seems to be working properly now.  

[Paul]

I think this was probably related to the PWA radar app from last week, so should definitely clear if you clear site data. But please shout if it comes back. 

[Eastern Scotland WX]

so yes i loved it when ukv came out but its been since December since anything was added or significantly changed?

[Eastern Scotland WX]

UKV rain accumulation charts don't seem to be working currently. It just says this whenever i click on the days?

any news on when UKV 15z will be out? 

[Paul]

No, afraid not. We've not received the 15z or 18z data from the met office and I've no eta or further info from their tech support as yet. I'll keep chasing.. 

[Daniel Finch]

Oh. That's sad news but saves me from repeatedly refreshing every half hour. Hope you get it sorted tomorrow! 

[Paul]

Me too. Have just spoken to the met office again, they are aware of the issue and are actively working to investigate and sort it. So fingers crossed it won't be too long before we see some data coming through again.

[Paul]

Update from the met office. The 15z, 18z and (very likely) the 21z are lost and won't be coming through this evening. Things should be back to normal from the 00z though. 

It's annoying, as the 15z was a big one this evening for looking at Saturday's risk + we've got a small update to the precip type forecast which was due to go live from that run as well, but it is what it is unfortunately. Fingers crossed all goes to plan overnight anyway..

[Paul]

In fact we may have a 21z, as I see a file appearing now.
