@Polina-Nozdrina this feature would be so much better if it had the 20 year wind archive like the windy app, we absolutely love that feature and wish you could incorporate it into this page.

@Jari-Sochorová
Thanks Jari.
I am aware of the different stations was just hoping there was a way for the administrators to maybe contact the station operator to see what's happening but not to worry it won't slow us down.
Thank you for your reply, have a Great day.

I have noticed of late the large number of reporting stations that are wildly inaccurate, we are currently sailing around the world on a catamaran and have extremely accurate instruments to report the weather/environment and have been very disappointed with the amount of stations near by that are so far from accurate it is dangerous.

I know of many occasions where people are using the stations to decide whether or not to take on a particular task only to be completely let down by the inaccuracies or out in danger.

Is there not someway of vetting these reporting stations to insure their accuracy thus aiding the forecasting and users to make safe, calculated decisions based on accurate reporting ?

Just as an example there is a weather station at the lighthouse in Salvador de Bahia, Brazil which constantly undergrads wind strength and direction, two days ago we passed the light house in 27kts of wind and the station there was showing 2kts from the opposite direction. One of many examples we have seen in the past two years.

G'day there team
We are a family currently sailing around the world and have for the last 6 months been a roaming windy weather station. We have been forwarding weather information to windy while crossing oceans and in costal areas where no stations have ever been in the hope that it will only make forecasting stronger and more accurate. While we are absolutely stoked with windy itself as an application and find it to be invaluable I was hoping to suggest not only for my benefit but for everyone involved if there were some sort of reduction in fees for people who outlay the money for the specific equipment required to be a weather station.

I know myself that the equipment I have onboard our sailboat is worth thousands of dollars and requires constant maintenance, while we had most of the equipment required anyway to sail around the world we did still have to outlay extra in order to provide the data you require to be a station and help with forecasting and crucial weather updates.

I think that if you offered a reduced rate of fees for people to become roaming or fixed stations it could only benefit everyone due to the fact the information coming in would be detailed and vast.

I truly hope you consider this as a viable option and agree this could benefit everyones need when it comes to accurate and detailed weather forecasting.

@idefix37 Its not so much that we're using this strictly for passage planing rather broad timeline planning as we are currently sailing around the world and use predict wind for our weather routing although are leaning more towards constant windy updates now via our starlink.

the historical data allows us to see average wind strengths and directions for a particular time of the year on a particular coastline/ocean crossing allowing us to roughly plan where we'll be or roughly what time to make a passage. It's basic but a really handy feature when planing up to 12 months ahead which we sometimes have to do in order to know where we will haul the boat out, or where we need to avoid hurricane/cyclone seasons etc.
