Disruption of service

Unfortunately, api.met.no (along with most other services from MET Norway) was unavailable yesterday 16 Feb between 15 and 16 UTC, due to a loss of Internet connection at our Oslo office. Apparently this was caused by some scheduled router maintenance at our ISP which failed, and the automatic failover to our other line didn't work as expected. Sorry about that.

Update: After trying to fix the failover issue, we experienced an occurrence of butterfingers, causing another outage between 12:36 and 13:26 UTC today. The culprits, having been suitably tarred and feathered are being carried out from the server room on a rail as we speak.
