Angry meringue problems

I am baking meringue at 140 degrees C for one hour and then at 50 degrees C for another hour but the meringue is still soft. Can anyone advise what is the problem and what can go wrong in making meringue.

What's the weather? You want to make meringues on a day with low humidity.

You need to leave them in the oven until they are crisp, no matter how long
it takes. If they are thick, it will take a long time, perhaps all night.
If the weather is damp, they will go sticky AFTER you remove them from the
oven if you don't store them right.
