      Is there a post on how Windy selects nearby weather stations? I’ve noticed that the selection often changes and sometime includes ships but not always.

      My preferred station Burlington Pier is only listed about half the time. Curious.

        Clicking on Burlington name shows a selection of weather stations.
        Burlington piers appears in third position when you select "Professional first", and in first position with "By distance".

        What is strange for me is the weather station of CWWB airport on the water. May be a wrong position or an area for sea planes?
        For me it's not weird that boats reporting weather data can appear and disappear. A boat is supposed to move :)

          @idefix37 Yep, I get why the boats move (I knew I’d confuse my message by mentioning them). It’s the stationary stations changing that perplex me. Burlington Piers for example wasn’t visible first thing today for me but then appeared a couple hours later. Any idea why?

          That one located in the water might be a buoy. That’s what I assumed.
