      I am a Windy subscriber, and have a CWOP registered personal weather station which has been in MADIS for more than 15 years. The MADIS ID is: "Station:AS927:MESONET:APRSWXNET:
      AS927-WD9U Ashland WI US (46.583,-90.879,210.580)(46.583,-90.879,210.580)"

      There is another MADIS registered station within two km of my station with a MADIS ID of: "Station:D6451:MESONET:APRSWXNET: D6451-DW6451 Ashland WI US (46.582,-90.884,210.120)"

      On Windy, my station is shown with the name of the other station "Chapple Macarthur, Ashland", and as a "duplicate".

      My station long predates this other station. How can I correct the name of my station as shown on Windy so it is obvious which one is which when they are displayed on the map?

      For reference, on Wunderground my station is shown as: "ASHLAND WI near Northland College"
      Would it help if I were to directly submit data to Windy using the API?

      Thanks!

        @westpacsailor Hello, unfortunately we can't change the name of the station at this moment. We may, in the future, inform you of changes via our official channels. Have a nice day, Niki
