Coastguard nowcasting observations not displayed
-
Unable to see Coastguard nowcasting in wind observations. Is this a bug or by design?

@bazT361
To get the coastguard nowcasting in your country you'd better check their app or listen to them on VHF. Windy does not relay these advisories.
This would be difficult to do because there is no international standard for the dissemination of these coastal forecasts as there is for high seas with METAREA or METAR/TAF for aviation.
So it is not a bug. -
@idefix37 thank you for the explanation. I will miss this feature. NZ Coastguard Nowcasting has been available in Windy up until recently.

You say that forecasts of NZ Coastguards were available in Windy?
In the Weather warnings layer or where ?
I can’t imagine that complete forecasts as those broadcasted were available in Windy.
Or you are probably talking about the weather warnings issued by the MetService. And they seem to be missing now. -
@idefix37 reported wind displayed on map included New Zealand coastguard nowcasting wind stations until a few weeks ago. I suspect it was sourced from nowcasting.nz which is also no longer reporting live wind observations.

So it is not Nowcasting !! Nowcasting means forecast.
You should have said that Weather stations from NZ Coastguards are now missing in Windy.
