The automated weather is available with 5 clicks on the Unicom Frequency at 3B1 Greenville; Maine. The automated weather reported wind calm. The RNAV 14 instrument approach was used and there was an 18 knot tailwind on short final. This was not acceptable for a straight in landing. The approach had to be a circling approach to runway 32 or a missed approach. The automated weather does not appears on ADS-B or on Sirius XM weather in the cockpit. It does appear on Foreflight which is not available in the air. This is a very serious safety issue. The weather should be available on airborne receivers such as XM or ADS-B and the information must be correct. I believe that this represents an accident looking for a place to happen. Can this be fixed?
A pilot reported there is no way to receive the current weather for 3B1 non-towered airport while airborne.
