Erroneous data on Australian cyclones
-
I have noticed on a number of occasions recently that the display of cyclones around the Australian coast is either way out of date or erroneous. For example, Cyclone Errol currently has a centre pressure of around 965hPa and is building towards a Category 4, yet it is shown on windy as just a low with a centre pressure of 1000hPa.

@bob-belzy Hi, we cannot do much with data we get from the provider. However, my colleague checked the whole situation and something wasn't correct there, so thank you for reporting the whole situation.

@Suty Same issue as I write this, cyclone is Cat 4 and circa 950hPa, yet Windy shows just 990

HI @bob-belzy, what pressure are you referring to? From pressure lines? Those are from forecast, not from actual measurement. Additionally, different models give different pressure forecasts.
This is ECMWF:
And this is BoM's ACCESS:

@Filip_K I'm referring just to the basic map with isobar display. Whether it is actual or forecast, a wrong impression is being shown.
I'm merely providing feedback.
