Hi all, I’m experiencing forecast time-outs with every forecast submission attempt, regardless of the variable or forecast lead time. This issue has been occurring since Friday, and I haven’t been able to submit any forecasts since then.
Has anyone else faced the same problem?
Sorry to hear about your issues regarding forecast submission. I can see that you didn’t manage to submit a forecast. 22 other teams did submit a forecast over the weekend.
Could you possibly let me know the error that appeared?
We’ll be in contact via email regarding missed forecast submissions.
Kind regards,
Josh
Solved via email. Required an update to AI Weather Quest python package.
python3 -m pip install --upgrade AI-WQ-package
Hi @Joshua_Talib,
Unfortunately, the timeout error persists. I can obtain the forecast quintile probabilities, but submitting the forecast results in a timeout error.

TimeoutError: [Errno 110] Connection timed out
I successfully submitted the ‘tas’ variable. However, resubmitting ‘tas’ or any other variable triggers the timeout error again.
