South African Weather Service the target of two cyber attacks

The news said the aviation site is back up but not as far as I could tell. And, the normal public site was down this morning, only came back later in the day but with no data available or any of the normal services working. What a joke.

I just found that the aviation website is working. However you have to type in the fully formatted URL, there is no automatic redirect if you leave out the https prefix:

Aviation url seems to be working again. Have renewed all the old URLs on the aviation site and ll are now working again.

Weathersa.co.za slowly recovering in stops and starts. First time today that the Synoptic Chart URL worked and updated! But lots more needing attention.

Marine.weathersa.co.za also showing some signs of life again.
 
Hilariously, their A record points to a private IP address; however, www and the rest seem fine.

SAWS synoptic chart is offline. I get this hilarious error message:

Unexpected Application Error!​

404 Not Found​

💿 Hey developer 👋

You can provide a way better UX than this when your app throws errors by providing your own ErrorBoundary or errorElement prop on your route.
