Feature request: Water temperature support for Windy PWS

Jari Krebs — Invalid Date

@immo.-r.z.h. We are a private Sailing club at a lake and have a forecaststation with a watertemperature scale. To integrate this data into Windy would be nice to have.

My station is already reporting via MADIS. Can I link that to my account?

@Suty I was under the impression that I would be able to do that for free by submitting it to Windy. I suppose I can try uploading it directly but that may cause duplication of the data...

A bad PWS in Chisinau, Moldova - what can be done?

cb.incus — Invalid Date

Hello,

I've noticed that the madis-F4072 PWS, located in Chisinau, Moldova, often reports temperatures that are too high. The problem appears during daytime hours only and is most severe in sunny weather, when the temperatures can be up to 3-7 degrees Celsius higher compared to other PWSes in the city and official stations. This hints to inadequate sun shielding as being the root cause of the overestimated temperatures.

This station uploads data to Weather Underground as well, under the ID ICHIINU9 (I've compared the readings at the same time moments - they are identical). Using the WU archive, I've made a plot of daily maximum temperatures at different stations in Chisinau during July 2024, when anomalously hot and sunny weather was prevalent. The overestimation is clearly seen.

I wonder if it is possible to contact the owner of the station in order to fix the shielding or stop reporting temperature (and likely dewpoint) data, for example?

I can provide more comparisons if it's required.

PWS not displaying

@Elliot-Russo Hi, if only some data are being saved then it means that data which are not being saved are in invalid format. I suspect that the plugin you are using is sending data in format like this { "temp": "20" } and not like this { "temp": 20 } If you could send me the message which are sent from the plugin I would be sure, but this is only guess. The old API accepted format like this, but that was incorrect behaviour. You will probably need to contact the author of plugin you are using. Here is repository https://github.com/itemir/signalk-windy. Fix of this should be very easy.

Favorites: My own station doesn’t display summary data

@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..

Please add filter for PWS

Hi,
Could you please add a filter for showing PWS yes/no
I don't want to see the PWS because many of them are not reliable

PWS AVAILABLE
