We are planning to do some changes there, but I don't have any specific time period for now.

How exactly your location is moved? Is that always in the same direction? Could you please describe it a bit?

However, if I use Firefox, the location is accurate. So this seems to be a problem with how Windy.com works in the most used browser of all, Chrome.

If Windy doesn't have an access to the GPS location or if the browser doesn't have allowance to use your location, it is possible that the locations is not accurate.
