PWSweather.com Released

Woohoo!  A much overdue update to the Personal Weather Station (PWS) project has been released!

http://www.pwsweather.com

Since 2000, HAMweather and WeatherForYou have helped bring the PWS community together by allowing users to post their observations to a central service with the ability to integrate this data into their HAMweather installations.  HAMweather and WeatherForYou have joined forces once again to improve the tools available for the PWS community, with the release of the PWSweather.com website.

PWSweather.com provides a great new feature set for PWS users in a fast, clean and ad free interface. Some of the new features include:

  • Improved registration process
  • Improved display of a stations latest observations and archived data:

  • New Google Maps Mashup to view and find other Personal Weather Stations.

The release of PWSweather.com is only the beginning, as  HAMweather and WeatherForYou are committed to continously expanding and improving PWSweather to bring additional features and tools to the PWS community.

    Hi:

    I have a weatherbug weather station installed in my school and I would like to publish or send my information on the HAMweather and WeatherForYou program. My school station is connected 24/7 and the information can be seen on the AWS website (weatherbug.com) only but I want to make it available to more people. Please tell me what do I have to do to connect my current equipment.

    Thanks,

    Cedrick Hernandez

    Hi Cedrick,

    Thanks for your interest in participating in PWSweather.com. We’re not that familiar with the WeatherBug system. From what I understand it’s a closed system in that it is set up to only send data to AWS. When I talked with them a number of years ago they were interested in integrating data from stations that send to us but could not guarantee the contributing station would receive credit and were not interested in making their data available to us.

    I’m not sure if any other software will work with your station. You might want to contact the software authors on this list…

    …and see if their software will work with your station while still allowing you to participate in WeatherBug.
