      My personal weather station shows up in Windy and there's a quality info next to it. I'm glad it says "very high" but I know that the humidity (hence dew point) measurement is busted. I'm wondering where the quality info comes from. I'm referring to the following text:

      Weather station: madis, id: AT923, average reporting time: 10 minutes, quality of observation: very high

      Also, the pane for the weather station shows:

      There are no webcams around this location (or we don't know about them)

      and I'm wondering where any webcam info could come from, 'cause I might add a cam...

        I can answer my second question, duh, there's a link to add a webcam at the bottom.
