@Suty now PWS are showing, thanks :-)

Hi, I have same problem, station not showing up on map.
I have 9 stations already sending data to windy.
I added 2 stations last weekend, one showed up within 24 hours, while the other still not showing.
There is no error sending the data and same system for all the stations.
The station not showing on map is ID: 8f056cc64
Direct link to the station shows it has the data for many days now, still not showing.

What could be the issue ?

I am having similar issues with webcams, i.e. the refresh time.
It would be helpful to get some insight into the process/algorithm for updating photos on windy.
As an example, many cameras only produce photos during daylight.
Then in some countries daylight is 24 hours for summer months while winter time could be down to 4 hours of daylight.
Is there any classification/process on how each camera is updated, and is it fixed in the initial approval ?

Hi all

I have number of Weather stations and they all have webcams (1 or 2).
Managing weather stations is simple and effective using https://stations.windy.com
There I have list of my stations and can edit and update as needed, very good.
Also the API for sending information is clear and easy to use.

< rant >
But then we have the webcams and their management.
Management is actually not existing (at least not to normal users).
I dont see a list of my webcams, cannot edit or amend info or add details.
This is very much needed for those managing more than very few cameras.

There is some approval process, which should be clear, while it has not been working properly for some time.
We dont know what kind of presentation of the data (images) is preferrable by windy.com or easy to use, which for developers would be helpful.
I understand there is certain security/misuse possible, which should be checked, but for "known providers" this should be simple.
Can some standard interface for sharing webcams (to windy) be published which developers can use?
The algorithm of retrieving photos is not publicly known, but more infor to windy.com might improve this very much.
Webcams that take photos normally at regular intervals are common, but the info is not part of info shared with windy.com, like photos every 10 minutes/30 minutes, and if photos are only during daylight hours. If there are more than one direction of images (like alternating directions with two cameras).
Even emails of approval, reject, disable due to problem or enabled again when OK are not received anymore (were OK but stopped sometime last year)....
< /rant >

Could webcam providers get some webcams.windy.com management in similar way as stations.windy.com, even (some or all) changes might neet approval of admins ?

Can this be looked into and improved ?

@Suty now PWS are showing, thanks :-)

The windy.com does not show any PWS PrivateWeatherStation on its map all over the world.
On windy.com when selecting to show reported wind and only PrivateWeatherStations no PWS show at all on windy map in the world !
With this selection only Madis stations show, NO PWS show at all where I checked in the world.
Checked on Windows using Chrome also incognito mode.
Checked on Android using Chrome and Android App.
All is the same, no PWS is showing.
It started when my 16 stations did not show anymore and this is the result of further checking.
(should they not be in the WMO section as it is not private stations)

Thanks for the response.
Please take this as suggestion for development :-)

Hi
Is there any way for user to see list of webcams and manage in one place ?
Just like https://stations.windy.com for weather stations ?
Have not found it and the individual entry to "edit" each webcam of mine is kind of troublesome.
Any way to work my added webcams in one place ?

@Ondřej-Šutera The filtering seems very strong in favor of wmo station. this wmo-4150 seems only to have data once a day. when data gets old the station does not show on map, but the pws is not shown either even it has current data all the time.

@Ondřej-Šutera
The Iceland weather office register shows the data for wmo-4150
Somehow it has moved to my station coordinates and altitude, by error.
Please update the wmo-04150 to have correct coordinates and altitude.
Direct link to the wmo-4150 at the Iceland weather office:

@Ondřej-Šutera That is what I assumed.
BUT THERE IS NO WMO station at this location ! it is an error !
Please remove the GHOST WMO station at this location.

@Ondřej-Šutera Please look into it, should I post this somewhere else or is there some direct support contact place?
The station wmo-04150 does not exists at this place and seems to have been created by some error when I created my station at this place.
And my station pws-af056cc64 does not show up on the map at this place with data for almost a week now (its webcam works fine).
Thanks in advance.

It seems incorrectly registered (empty) WMO station rather than PWS in the location of my station.
The WMO shows no data but shows on map while the actual station is PWS and shows data but not on map.
The error WMO station https://www.windy.com/station/wmo-04150?2023111200,64.682,-20.947,12,i:pressure
and the real PWS station https://www.windy.com/station/pws-af056cc64?64.700,-20.883,8,i:pressure
So it seems windy has created by error a wmo station where my pws station is.
I created new pws and send the data there few days ago, wonder if this has been fixed ?
The WMO station needs to be deleted as it is not there at all, and possibly blocking the real station.

Maybe some expert can look at the issue at hand @Korina ?
