I live in the US and use my local weatherstation to control my basement dehumidifier and decide whether or not to turn the thermostats. The airport is about 10miles away but actually doesn't have all of the data that I need, such as soil temp, leaf moisture, and it's not very local to my specific house which has lots of trees and tends to deviate from the airport that is more exposed. I still use the airport data, but integrated with my own local data to get a better picture of what's going on.
