On December 24, nandu reporters noticed that many netizens said on social platforms that the temperature displayed by inkblot weather was abnormal, which was inconsistent with the actual situation. Some users in southern cities have found that the temperature in their location is minus 55 degrees, and some users have reported that the temperature of their location is above 70 degrees. Subsequently, ink weather apologized that the incident was due to a background system failure and the problem had been fixed.
At noon on the 24th, Ink Weather publicly apologized on Weibo that due to the failure of the background system, the weather forecast data display earlier in the day was incorrect. The Ink Weather technical team fixed the issue at 11:03 and the system is now back to normal. Ink weather will do a good job of weather service protection to avoid the recurrence of such accidents.
It is reported that Ink Weather was established in 2010 as a weather information inquiry App, and its development and operation is Beijing Ink Fengyun Technology Co., Ltd. According to its official website, ink weather can support weather inquiries in more than 200,000 cities and regions in 199 countries, with about 650 million users. Nandu reporter noted that in recent years, in addition to providing weather services for C-end public users, ink weather has also opened up B-end enterprise users and G-end government users to provide customized meteorological services for the latter. In March 2020, Ink Weather CEO Jin Li publicly stated that "the future strategy is to upgrade from functional app operators to Internet integrated weather service providers".
