The weather METARS displayed above are being generated by the British Towns Weather Station in Cambridge from information received via NOAA from official UK weather stations. We are now displaying the current weather conditions at all the major UK International Airports on the pages within this site. The METARS are updated automatically every 30 minutes from our weather station which is part of the St Ives website in Huntingdonshire and the district's four other principle towns being Godmanchester, Huntingdon, St Neots and Ramsey.

We have now completed the server upgrade and have implemented brand new image upload code that is capable of handling images up to 10Mb in size without the need for the user to edit them first. Images are automatically resized on our servers to the optimum size for display on the website.
We will continue checking the site for any gremlins but if you come across any we would be grateful if you would let us know using the Feedback button at the top of all the pages.
We have nearly completed the upgrade of the website. There will be some further brief interruptions whilst we continue to improve the code and we are still working on the User Upload systems at the moment.
We hope to be able to effectively remove the image size restriction that is currently in force. Prior to commencing the upgrade users could not upload an image larger than 1Mb which required users to shrink the images prior to attempting to upload them. We found quite a number of users have difficulty with this, therefore the best solution for us was to try to remove the restriction or at least enlarge the limit to allow most normal use.
Initial tests of the new upload systems have gone well and we have successfully uploaded large un-edited 4Mb images. We hope to complete these major works within the next 7 days buit we will always be looking to improve the website and the information and facilities it offers.
We apologise for the distruption to the site at the moment but we are upgrading the site servers to the latest operating systems to allow us to delevop. During this period some of the facilities will not function until we upgrade the code that makes them work too. Please bear with us, we are working as fast as we can to finish the job.
