WMO weather stations in Greenland have wrong names/locations
-
Hi,
I found by accident using the "Nearest weather stations" button that some/many WMO weather station names and locations do not match. For example, Windy shows the weather station wmo-04312 has the name Mittarfik Narsarsua when it should be (Station) Nord.
Using the search function, wmo-04312 suggests Qaqortoq, the location of which matches Wx Station Mittarfik Narsarsuaq wmo-04272.

@ajutila Hello, we gather the station's data from public databases. So if the name is incorrect them, then we cannot fix it.

Thanks @Korina! Which databases do you use then, how can this be fixed at their end?
Meanwhile, something somewhere has changed, because now the station wmo-04312 has the name Qaqortoq also on the map (while it should be Station Nord), but it's the real location of Qaqortoq is at the opposite end of Greenland.

Hi @Korina,
Every now and then I come back to this issue and I notice that on the windy map, the Greenlandic station names keep switching back and forth, and they are still not correct.
