Learn something new every day!!

These figures are just analyse and forecast from the ECMWF numerical weather model.

Please could explain why you consider that Windy gather weather data from Bouvet Island. I do not see any data from this place on Windy.

In reality there's nothing there, except seals and penguins and sea birds!! Amateur Ham radio clubs will embark on expeditions to Bouvet every few years to transmit from there. I always look for new photos from there. Still don't understand how weather data is gathered from Bouvet if the weather station is no more!! Where does Windy.com get it from??

But according to the Polar Institute, the entire weather station has been swept away due to earthquake and violent weather!!

*****Photos of the AWS itself are hard to find. It is vaguely visible in the top picture at http://www.npolar.no/no/nyheter/2014/2014-02-10-ny-feltstasjon-bouvet.html, at the back of the station building. Otherwise, see

I contacted the Norwegian Polar Institute yesterday about my request and am waiting for a reply. Thanks again for your suggestions.

I have seen photos of the construction of the weather station, but I understand the station may have suffered massive damage due to the storms and extreme weather conditions on the island.

Interesting question!
I think you must ask the Norwegian Meteorological Institute
https://www.met.no/en/contact-us
or these people: https://www.bouvetdx.org/our-team/
