      Non-professional stations provide irrelevant numbers.

      In my vicinity, several stations yield misleading data. Specifically, these two consistently report temperatures that deviate by 10 degrees from those recorded at professional stations.

      On top of that the bad numbers are sometimes reported in the nearest station bubble.

      I would not use non-professional data in case you have pro stations that are close to your location. (and also would delete those two.

        Yes, there are some non-professional weather stations that are wrong.
        But as you are using the browser version of Windy, you can now select which type of weather station you want.
