The METAR-station which is used for Salonta is 33 km away (Oradea airport) so that the weather there doesn't has to match the weather in Salonta.
One possible solution is to use a metar-station which is nearer to Salonta than the current one.

Hi Mojo,

Another possibility is to have a look at Arad.
You can add it as an extra location besides Salonta.
I know Arad is a bit further away from Salonta, but it's the next closest metar station.
The second nearest metar would be Debrecen in Hungary.

Could you test (one of) these out for some time and let us know which gives you the best results in comparison to the real weather in Salonta?
If you would also add Oradea, you can compare two metar (or three if you also add Debrecen) stations with your place.

Hope this helps.
Goodluck.
