What a load of horseshit. Weather stations sited at airports give no useful, accurate information. There's this stuff called "asphalt" and airports have MILES of it, which raises the local temperatures. And yes, 747 pilots DO care about the temperatures in rural areas because that determines the air turbulence aloft, but you aren't a pilot (I am), and you clearly don't know any 747 pilots (I do) so in your words, go learn how to fly, then get back to us.
Pilots don't need to know wind direction at the airport? ... that is news to me ... but you're the pilot, who am I to disagree? ... I've had maybe 100 hours as right-seat passenger, why do control towers always give out their weather station information if it's inaccurate? ...
71% of Earth's average temperature is the temperature over open ocean ... no asphalt ... do you think there's weather is only over land or something? ...
Ha ha ha ha ha ... just what kind of pilot knows nothing of pressure? ...
