Website Issues

A link doesn't work. Should I send e-mail about that?

That depends. If you are trying to follow a link from our site (from a URL beginning with "http://www.srh.noaa.gov/oun/..."), and it is not available for several days, please let us know. Otherwise, please be patient or write to the owner of the site with the bad link.

The current weather observation, given on the forecast page, shows "NULL" instead of the weather conditions. Why?

The weather observation has not been available for a long time (a day or two) for some reason. The most likely causes include equipment failure and communication failure. These, in turn, may be caused by severe weather (ice storms, high winds, etc.) or by accident (such as a cut power cable or communications line). The amount of time between the failure and restoration to service varies according to the magnitude of the cause of the failure and the site's maintainer. Sites maintained by this office are: Gage, Woodward, Stillwater, Ponca City, Guthrie, Wiley Post (OK City), Will Rogers (OK City), Clinton, Hobart, Frederick, Lawton, and Wichita Falls.

Why is the Norman, Oklahoma weather observation shown as "NULL?"

Construction workers apparently cut the power cable for the automated weather observing system in late December. A replacement cable is due to be installed around the middle or latter part of January, and, we hope, the equipment will resume service by the end of the month.

There is an error on this site. Should I e-mail you to let you know?

Please do send us a correction for anything that is clearly in error. Please also be tactful when you write - we work very hard to make this an informative and correct Web site.
