Wrong station occasionally returned for query by station id

  1. I recently starting work on an Android weather app as a learning project. I've hard-coded my search string for the Portland International Jetport weather station, KPWM. It works fine most of the time, but occasionally I'll get results for Brunswick HS, which is about 20 mins north and Sanford, ME, which is about 30 minutes south. Is this normal behavior?

    It is possible. KPWM should be reporting regularly, but if for some reason we don't have timely data from KPWM then it will give data from the closest station that has the most timely data.

    That's what I suspected - thanks for confirming.
