At Bristol ATC in the UK, the automated ATIS updates every two minutes directly from the equipment - therefore the wind for instance is the two minute average, usually a maximum time of within the last two minutes - no waiting for 30 minutes here to be updated! I assume the larger airports work like this with automation so when it says 1131 and then 1132 in next automated readout you really can hear the change.
