When comparing the wind direction given by the overlay in barbs and what the planes are reporting it often doesn't match. For example the plane is reporting 300° and the overlay gives approxcimately 260°. I even had differences of 90°.
Is the difference simply caused by the planes reporting the actual direction while the overlay can be outdated or is it something else? Sometimes nearby planes report different directions even though they are close to each other and the overlay indicates similar wind conditions for both locations.
