Pressure data is received via API v2 but not displayed on station UI (PWS)
-
Hello Windy team,
I’m reporting data to a personal weather station using the Stations API v2 and everything is being accepted correctly (200 OK on upload).
However, pressure is not shown in the station UI / inspector, even though it is present in the API response.
Details:
Station ID: Is6ECp9
API endpoint used:
POST /api/v2/observation/updateAuthentication: station password
Upload result: 200 OK
Altitude is correctly set in the station settings (~405 m / 1330 ft)
What I send:
pressure = station pressure in Pa (e.g. ~101200 Pa)
Other fields (temperature, humidity, wind) are displayed normally.
Evidence:
When I query the observation endpoint:GET https://stations.windy.com/api/v2/observation?id=Is6ECp9
The returned JSON clearly contains:
"pressure": [101224, 101228, 101235, ...]
So the pressure data is stored and returned by the API, but it does not appear in the station visualization on windy.com, even when opening with:
.../station/pws-Is6ECp9?... ,i:pressure
Question:
Is this a known limitation/bug of the current PWS UI with API v2?
Is there any additional parameter or specific pressure field expected for the UI to display it?
Or is pressure currently not rendered for PWS stations even if present in the data?
Thanks in advance — happy to provide more details or test any workaround.
Best regards,

@Pedro-Luiz-de-Souza-Pinto-Filho Hello, the pressure is displayed correctly even on the website: https://www.windy.com/station/pws-Is6ECp9
Anyway, thank you for the very detailed report.

the pressure is not show the last measurement. it appers only in grafic not in valeu
-
@marekd the pressure is only on graphic , its very important to be show in valeu... Another question is, the pressue shold be posted in qnh or station loacl pressure. we need the qnh information for airplane need

@suty it sounds like a feature request to me, can you take a look at it?
-
Do you mean here?
-
yes, will be great

@Pedro-Luiz-de-Souza-Pinto-Filho
I was going to report his as a bug. last week but forgot.@marekd - some weather stations seems to have that Pressure Icon and some don't. For example:
An Airport in NE England shows the Pressure
While my PWS has never shown it despite it report it. It is still on API v1 though
Bug?

@WeatherMan10 Thank you for the additional details. I have just checked it and it seems to be intentional. Pressure is displayed only for professional stations. This is outside the backend scope, so I have reported it to our frontend team as a feature request.
