Seems like I have found the answer myself. Windy had, again, changed the API Key and further, even after I started to use the new API key, the station data were screwed up at Windy, so I had to add a new Station 1 with same parameters, change my script to specify station 1 in the URL and NOW it seems to work again.

Yes, I agree now. But they have been missing for a period. There was a very sharp edge at the right side of my red circle. It was a vertical line of 200 km or so. I will keep an eye on it next time we have a "rain carpet" covering that whole area.

@Remini-2 I had the same issue. I had to get my CWOP (MADIS) number deleted to get the problem fixed. Now my PWS data are updated every 5 minutes. I have checked my log. Less than a few seconds after my little .NET program has sent the data to Windy API it is visible on the map. Fantastic... :-)

@Suty Okay. Just wanted to point out there is a minor problem.

I have checked OpenStreetMap. Actually it is correct, meaning the station, placed in Paradise Residence, is within the area of Hurma as you can see from the arrow. So why does Windy show it as being in the neighbor area?

I have a local Davis Vantage Pro2 Plus private weather station on an address in Antalya, Türkiye. The station is placed on the map very precisely. The local area where it is located in is named "Hurma Mahallesi" or short "Hurma Mah.". Despite the very precise location entered by decimal coordinates, Windy says the weather station is placed in Gursu Mah., that is more than 500 m from the station.

I have included 3 pictures. One showing Hurma Mah. with a red border around. One showing Gursu Mah. with a red border around. And one measuring the distance from the station to the border of Gursu Mah.

I have tested on Windows with different browsers and both from Denmark and Türkiye. My location does not change the information from Windy.

Why is Windy being wrong about the location?

@Suty Okay. I have tried to stop the MADIS reporting for 2-3 days to see if my PMS showed up. But that did not happen. How long will it take from I stop MADIS reporting until PMS info is shown? Or do I have to entirely have my MADIS ID deleted before the PMS shows up?

@windywolf-0 I know it's an old thread, but I have just experimented with it and it works well. My URL (my secret key not shown fully):

https://stations.windy.com/pws/station/ey.......................................Ms/1

Notice the /1 at the end. That is not my User ID, but Station ID, which is a number 1, 2, 3, etc. I have two stations registered. As the API secret key is unique, there is not need for further id's other than which station you want to output as you can have multiple stations registered.

Output is somehting like this:

My reporting happens from a C#/.NET program I have made that runs locally in my house so it can access the WeatherLink device and read out data every 5 minutes. That is a very good and stable solution that runs 99.9%.

@Suty I am having the same problem. My weather stations report into MADIS as GW0650 and GW0651. For both stations I also report directly into Windy via Windy API. Because Windy pulls data from MADIS without I have "accepted or enabled" it, I now have two reports from the each of the stations.

You can check it here:

https://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/wxpage.cgi?call=GW0650&units=metric
https://www.windy.com/station/madis-g0650?55.996,8.366,8
https://www.windy.com/station/pws-2f071b2f3?55.996,8.366,8

Windy even writes at the bottom line that GW0650 is a duplicate station.

I have setup my own reporting directly to Windy because it is more updated (faster). The problem for me, as other users, is that Windy prioritizes MADIS in the "Nearests stations" overview. I cannot see my own reporting directly to Windy. It should be opposite, so Windy always prioritizes PMS stations that report directly to Windy over MADIS and other sources.

How can I change this order? Or can you do it behind the scenes?

I would like to be able to select and save a weather model (ECMWF, GFS, ICON etc) separately with each favorite. I have favorites for different places in the world and some of these have better or more local models I would like to use with the location. Some option to select a model and save it with the favorite for default selection of model.

Yes, I agree now. But they have been missing for a period. There was a very sharp edge at the right side of my red circle. It was a vertical line of 200 km or so. I will keep an eye on it next time we have a "rain carpet" covering that whole area.

Part of Weather Radar for Western Denmark is missing on www.windy.com (web edition). The area effected is around the red circle. I have seen when a rain system covers the entire country that this part is missing.
