Significant Improvements in Weather Data Infrastructure
Live weather data is an important feature of Windfinder that helps you make the right decisions. Today, we are announcing significant updates to our live weather data infrastructure for more accurate, timely and reliable information on our apps and website.
What’s New?
- Improved Infrastructure: We’ve completely overhauled
our weather data system to improve reliability and performance. - More Weather Stations: We have added thousands of weather stations, focusing on buoys and airports, with more to come.
- More Accurate Data: More precise measurements, with more decimals for greater accuracy.
- Higher Temporal Resolution: Many charts now receive data every 10 minutes, instead of every 30 or 60 minutes.
- Improved Error Detection: Our system now includes more checks to reduce errors and minimize outliers.
- Increased Reliability: Automatic fallback systems are now in place to ensure uninterrupted data flow when weather stations receive data from multiple sources.
Benefits for You
- Real-Time Insights: With more frequent and accurate updates, you can assess weather conditions before you head out, helping you plan better.
- Faster Data Access: Shorter intervals between measurements mean less latency and faster updates.
- More Measurements, More Data: A larger network of weather stations means more accurate and localized weather data.
- Better Forecast Matching: Get better comparability between live data and forecasts to see how things evolve.
Looking Ahead
These updates are just the beginning. We’re constantly working to improve our services and bring you more advanced weather data in the future.
