Report your Weather Station Data to Windy

Korina

@gobris Hello, I can see you are already posting some data (wind) and the station appeared on the map. Are you sending any other data?

Tom helped me out and the developers had me put double quotes around the entire URL, e.g., curl "https://......". That fixed it. The "&" separating parameters was causing problems without the quotes so only the first parameter was being seen.

Regards.

Working without any issues..
Sending Gust, wind(ms) and temperature at the moment..

Have a PWS on Weatherunderground. Where do I upload my API key to my created station on Windy to upload the data? So lost with the instructions.

Korina

@mzolna Hello, what type of PWS and software do you have please?

Hi all,
I'm pushing data of my Davis Vantage Vue with weatherlink live to CWOP. Data are updated and visible on CWOP but I don't see the station appearing on Windy. The station id is CWOP FW7690
Any other methods to push data on Windy directly from Davis weatherlink live without any additional hardware?
thanks
Luca

@iz5axt Hi, you will need to get one of these softwares to actually send data to WIndy:

Cumulus MX
Meteobridge
Weather-Display
WeeWx

I've tried to upload my PWS data to Windy. Windy is receiving the data, see here:

https://www.windy.com/station/pws-f07cdffb?51.470,-3.146,11,i:pressure

Station ID: ID: f07cdffb

However I can't see my wether station on the map when I click on the wind sock icon. Any ideas? I've tried deleting and readding the station, tried changing the API key.

How long until my PWS will appear on the Windy map? Is there a problem as there's a weather cam at the same location (I also run a weather camera) or is it because the reported values are outside of what is acceptable? or is it because the timestamp on the weather data is out of date perhaps (if there is one); can't think of other reasons....

This is using Meteobridge (which confirms data is being send properly).

I really can't work it out. I'd be grateful for any help.
Thanks,
Alex.

Hello, the PWS symbol on the map is already visible, if you switch to Reported temp. layer, you can see your station.

Ah thanks. I think it just took a while to appear as it was appearing on the next morning. Thanks for your help.

Hi all,
my station f05f3390 is not on the map. It's diy, sending data by curl POST json:

curl -X POST --connect-timeout 3 -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"observations": [{"station":0, "ts":1599580852, "temp":20.23, "rh":50.5, "mbar":1029.33, "dewpoint":9.62}]}' https://stations.windy.com/pws/update/*api*key*
SUCCESS

At https://stations.windy.com/pws/station/*api*key*/0 I can see data, but

observation	null
observationUpdated	"2020-09-08T06:10:31.975Z"

where time is quite old.
What I'm doing wrong? Please help me. Thanks

Korina

@babice Hello, I can see your station f05f3390 appearing on the map already, it is also sending data.

babice

@Korina Oh, it's OK now. Nothing changed.
Isn't there some timeout (24h) for new stations?
And at https://stations.windy.com/pws/station/apikey/0 I can see new data, but

observationUpdated	"2020-09-09T06:10:54.290Z"

what is not true.

Korina

@babice It takes some time till the station appears on Windy.
I would recommend you to set update interval to 5 minutes.

hi i have a weather station mounted in my beach house on an island and i would like to share data with windy.
the problem is that the bresser 5.1 station only sends data to wueatherunderground and weathercloud.
Can you help me understand how I can take the data and send it to windy.
Thank you

Korina

@Antonio-Loi Hello, I would recommend you to try some additional software to send data to us. Some of them are discussed in the stations category.

Antonio Loi

@Korina the weather station automatically connects to 2 sites and does not have the possibility of a wiring connection.
you should use the weaterunderground data with the api key and transfer it to windy.
Another method is let's say impossible unless someone who has the same base as me is able to take the data.

I notice that Windy hasn't started using the tons of data offered in
https://opendata.cwb.gov.tw/dataset/observation yet. Just wanted to
let you know.
