<![CDATA[Weather Station]]>Hi guys, I just noticed lack of a legitimate weather station in North West Tasmania. It would be very useful as it's near to the most popular kitesurfing spot within a 100km. I would love to see it added to the map so I can see live wind report on the map.

It's Smithton Aerodrome weather station in Tasmania. Link below:

Oh sorry, I’ve not read carefully the post above. It was concerning weather stations. Thanks for the information on webcams.

However webcams are different case, they can be added by anyone, cause webcam's data are usually public (streamed on a website, youtube channel etc.).

Hi @Korina, so you confirm that only the owner of a webcam is allowed to add this webcam to Windy. This was not the case with look.r or webcams.travel. I’ve added several webcams on these websites and the are now shown on Windy. It’s a change of policy which explains why I can no longer add new webcams on Windy.

Therefore we can't add it by ourselves.
