Taken from XC's FAQ's
I guess the guys at each point are having problems. Hopefully temporary!!
"All of the data plotted by XCWeather is obtained from free sources on the internet and sometimes this data is temporarily unavailable. This maybe because of problems on the internet itself (web servers crashing, internet connections going down) or because of equipment problems at the station.
In addition to transient problems, some stations are only manned during office hours so they disappear overnight and at weekends. Others are just notoriously fickle and only seem to submit reports when they feel like it (Blackpool and Cosford are two examples in this category).
In any event XCWeather will keep looking for the data every half an hour and automatically start plotting it as soon as it's available. Unfortunately it's rare that I can do anything to speed up this process"

Yep I noticed this earlier as I went through the 'morning routine checks'.
Oddly Metcheck was down at the same time - although its back up again now.
Lets see - I like XC as it appears quite accurate.
