The issue now appears to be fixed as the temperature has returned to the website.

Vernon’s official weather website has been missing something for more than a week.
Environment Canada’s Bobby Sekhon says a technical glitch has left the site without an official temperature, and no daily data is being recorded.
“They tried to fix the problem remotely, however, that wasn’t possible,” Sekhon tells Beach Radio News.
The agency says a technician will have to visit the station at the Coldstream Ranch to get it back on line, which could happen this week.
“It’s an auto station so they had somebody reset the data logger but it’s something that requires a technician to go out there,” adds Sekhon.
He’s not sure if the station’s official weather data will be lost for the period the system has been down.
