Hi @staccermaccer, there is a problem in the station name. Station must be:
32 bit integer; required for multiple stations; default value 0; alternative names: si, stationId
Check following thread on Community: https://community.windy.com/topic/8168/report-your-weather-station-data-to-windy/2
Hello. I tried "https://www.lookr.com/add". I don't have a URL to use. If that's the only route to uploading WX Cam images to Windy, I'll pass. Thanks for the reply!
You want affordable and the best? Doesn't exist.
Pick two of these:
Price
Quality
Service / features.
Price & Quality = Acurite Atlas
Price & Service / features = Ambient or Ecowitt
Quality & Service / features = Davis VP2
@jaideep555
You just need to add the webcam you want to
https://www.lookr.com/add
Or to https://m.webcams.travel
The webcam will appear on Windy shortly after
@ivo OK thanks. It is nice to be able to see my data with your interface and there is a consistent way to get there.
One other thing though if I zoom in to the station (street map), the text that identifies it is nearly invisible (this is using Firefox web browser). If I click on the station identifier, the view then zooms out to give a broad view of Scotland.
Is this expected behaviour or just something particular to PWSs?
Thanks again for your help and for the superb Windy.com service with its fabulous graphics.
Geoff.
You can't upload history. Not much point anyway as only past 30 days worth of data are kept.
No rainfall data is available. It's ingested but not available. Perhaps it will in the future.
Not sure about pressure on mobile. Maybe someone else can answer that.
Weather upload interval will update after 1 week.

There no special definition of wind speed and gusts by Windy. Windy visualizes weather models and shows the models output for wind and gusts.
The wind speed is generally based on 10 minutes averaged wind speed except in aeronautical forecasts and in USA using averaged wind on 2-minutes. The Saffir-Simpson scale used for hurricanes is based on 1-minute sustained wind.
Gusts are averaged measures for 3 seconds
Then the question is to know which standard is considered by each model. The model of ECMWF is probably calibrated on 10-min. wind. Is GFS based on 2-min. wind? I’ve never find any information about it.
@TomSlavkovsky I did that several times during the first few days after adding, but the issue remains. Interestingly I noticed in Safari on my iPad this morning, the summary data is present in the favourites list, so it just seems to be the app that’s affected..
Yes, you can turn on Reported Wind or Reported Temperature at the bottom right and this will show the Reporting stations.
Hovering over these Stations will show a pop up with more details.
The Reporting Stations will stay visible in other layers too, it's not necessary to only use the Wind (or Temperature) layer like in my screenshot.
Additionally if you add the nearby stations (or locations) as Favourites they will display as a heart icon if you select My Favourites, also at the bottom right.
Hope this helps :)
