WRONG pressure data in JSON for PWS | The WeatherAPI Community Customer Community

Pressure in JSON answer for PWS shows wrong value (real pressure is 1016 hPa, showed value is 1014 or even lower; but even today lowest pressure was minimum 1015 hPa !).

Even on first page of www.wunderground.com where javascript shows currently values is firstly opened false value, and then within a few seconds changed to true value.

Here is pws JSON from API, show 1015 hPa at the moment (other data are correct as I see so far):

http://api.wunderground.com/api/72205...

Here is website current data: when page is start to loading says 1015, after JS is fully loaded it corrects to 1017,2, which I assume is true data, according to:

1. official PWS site ( http://vreme-deskle.slohosting.com/ )
2. XML current data ( http://api.wunderground.com/weatherst... )
3. daily history, CURRENT data ( http://www.wunderground.com/weatherst... )

So far I found this problem even at:
http://www.wunderground.com/weatherst...

which currently show 1019.5, but API JSON shows constant 1015 hPa.

API seems to output "normalized pressure", correcting the reading for altitude, as well as possibly temperature and humidity. I'm having this issue, on occasion, i receive the sensor reading (i am at 500+ meters, so 958 = 1013, give or take)
