Weather issue

I have a question.

I am using REX as my weather add on for P3D/FSX when I use those to fly. I noticed today that ATC seemed to have different weather METAR data than what REX produced for me. I am using their live weather. So what to do in this situation? Since PE doesnt have its own weather server ...
