Hi, awesome! But I am missing the numerical value of the air pressure.

@Gkikas-LGPZ Thank you. You summarized the meaning of title of this post: there are other of these (solid ground) "Madis" stations floating in Windy.

An anticipated sign of the climate change effects, perhaps? With a bit of searching, one can find, for example:

Ferrières-sur-Sichon (pop. 552) has set the sails and is now called Ferrières-sur-Mer:

Not dramatic but a batch run by Windy to block this noise would we welcome.

Hi,
Since the last major update (the fancy buttons, v4x something) My Favorites do not work (for me). The browser freezes for a while and error logs appear where they were all empty before.

I have tried with Chrome, Firefox, you name it.

If you like, I have the error logs, but cannot see here how to add an attachement here. I can cut and paste them for the general annoyance, if you prefer.

Thanks for fixing this for me first: presumably just by deleting all My Favorites in my account. If there is a root cause for this in your code, maybe the content of my bookmarks/logs will help others, too. I think there are some weather stations, it is a quite old and long list.

Absolutely great, congratulations to the team! Thank you so much.

I noticed in my navigation area measured values not corresponding to observations from
Madis station
GW3376 Litchfield
S39°2'28" W89°41'32"

According this page, it is located in Litchfield, IL, US 39° 11' 0" S 89° 39' 0" W elev 690m.

Is this a glitch in the source of data or a persisting parsing error of it? Or a bug in the batch file?

I know that somebody is working on this (?) - on a stormy day at sea one can easily find more of these lost landlubber "Mad"iis stations, being probably terrified:

@idefix37 You are absolutely right - after reading about MADIS, ingesting data from NOAA data sources and non-NOAA providers for delivery, I can understand that once the bad quality goes in, the bad quality also goes out to the "Meteorological Community", as they put it. Luckily, most of the distributed data does not fall into this category.

I will be more careful now, and filter out the PWS data which is often useless noise, unfortunately, and will also look with a certain questioning to some other stations as well, like those coming from ships. And keep my own boat's sensors well calibrated, allowing me to assess the models vs. the real weather situation, which is the purpose why I were looking at the stations around me in the first place.

Thank you for your insight.

@nesro Thank you, the local storage clearing did the trick. Now it works also on my Vivaldi browser after having logged in again. All good for me!

@nesro thanks, it works - elsewhere, but on my own computer and its browsers, how to log out? Account management is blocked by this issue and I cannot log out from there. Is there another way? I tried to remove cookies of windy.com domain but that does not help.

Hello @nesro - mail was just sent to support@windy.com with this topic's number in the subject line.

Hi, I checked recently for a similar station in the U.S. which I found in Windy on my path in the Southern Pacific Ocean! I learned that it was not Windy's fault but station's holder's mistake: if the information in https://madis-data.ncep.noaa.gov/index.shtml is wrong, it will likely be wrong in Windy. Unless they have a direct connection to each station owner, and each of them would type their data for 100th time in Windy.com...

All the stations near Willlow AK US are showing in Windy like this:

If I hover over the other stations, it is always the same "Willow" (no Lake in the name). I am on a desktop browser. Perhaps the "Lake" appears on other platforms?

On https://madis-data.ncep.noaa.gov/MadisSurface/ I get:

Likewise, all stations in Willow are showing "Willow AK US", no "WIllow Lake" for NOAA, either.

One could ask the station holder to update the name into the MADIS database? Unfortunately, the NOAA form does not allow it (https://madis.ncep.noaa.gov/cwop_updForm.shtml) - only city, state and zip code are requested.

How could Windy fix this? No way, I am afraid - the stations are managed by station owners, not by Windy. I ended up turning off the PWS stations after a suggestion from a kind person in the forum, since their location inaccuracies (among other mistakes) make them just noise generators on my display:

Use the Pin selector to select / deselect the icons you want / don't:

It is true that the pictures as icons sucks, especially when you have many of them: they become just a colorful, disturbing blobs with no information. After a certain size, they should go away and be replaced with the old, scalable icons.

@idefix37 Thank you very much! I did as you suggested to reduce the noise.

I can see the interest of PWSs, like in cruising and probably in some mountain sports, but Windy should not accept them for public display without some initial and periodical verification, which can be simply by comparing the measurements to the model's values in the advertised position.

@Gkikas-LGPZ remind that I reported but got ignored for a similar case here about Madiis stations moved from East longitudes to West, and consequently being moved from dry land to Atlantic Ocean. There is another Madiis station moved from Northern hemisphere to Southern one in the same post. Is it an error in source data or a bug in some batch script of Windy, I cannot tell.
