good that it works .. but there may be a small issue with the way i took for a solution.  
If for some reason your weather device/server is not responding with http-request,  
Flow Context will have the last data values saved and  
the second output of Cron-plus will still be triggering every 10 minutes inserting old data into the DB  
and that is wrong.

One fix would be to use a **Filter node** between the Function and the mysql node so if a msg is unchanged within those 10min, not to send it to the DB.
