Windy station
-
G'day there team
We are a family currently sailing around the world and have for the last 6 months been a roaming windy weather station. We have been forwarding weather information to windy while crossing oceans and in costal areas where no stations have ever been in the hope that it will only make forecasting stronger and more accurate. While we are absolutely stoked with windy itself as an application and find it to be invaluable I was hoping to suggest not only for my benefit but for everyone involved if there were some sort of reduction in fees for people who outlay the money for the specific equipment required to be a weather station.I know myself that the equipment I have onboard our sailboat is worth thousands of dollars and requires constant maintenance, while we had most of the equipment required anyway to sail around the world we did still have to outlay extra in order to provide the data you require to be a station and help with forecasting and crucial weather updates.
I think that if you offered a reduced rate of fees for people to become roaming or fixed stations it could only benefit everyone due to the fact the information coming in would be detailed and vast.
I truly hope you consider this as a viable option and agree this could benefit everyones need when it comes to accurate and detailed weather forecasting.
