WEATHER Data

Generally, "weather data" is active almost instantly once I fire up my Garmin Edge 1030 and pair it with my smartphone. But the last two rides, as you can see from my indicators at the bottom left, GPS, Phone and Internet are all good. But weather is not available. Both times, weather came on-line about 15 mins into my ride. Strange that this has happened the last two rides... like something has changed. Not a big deal, since in both cases weather did start working relatively soon. Just FYI I guess.

With Andriod, it seems to get the weather about every 20 minutes. For a while at least, iOS it was every hour. So even if you can see the weather data, it can still be a bit stale.

I have iOS. Ok. I do track the time since the last update (see my image, in that case 39 mins ago). I think that time was the actual observation time at the airport, not the last time iOS grabbed it from the station. I'll watch over the next few IRL rides, the time it takes for my "W" indicator to go from RED to GREEN. Thanks.
