Weather stations which come shipped with the EasyWeather software (generally known as FineOffset or Watson) should consider the realtime updating with care. The station only updates every 48 seconds, so sending realtime information to your website every 5 seconds is very wasteful. It may be better for a figure of around 30 seconds, that way a visitor knows not to expect updates too often but you also allow Cumulus to catch up to two updates within a minute (depending on when the first and second 48 second update came to Cumulus) | |||
