What weather aggregator are you using?

From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

What weather aggregator are you using?

Post by GlueGuy »

CMX can upload to the following weather aggregators:
  • Weather Underground
  • Windy.com
  • PWS Weather
  • Met Office WOW
  • APRS/CWOP
  • AWEKAS
  • WeatherCloud
  • OpenWeatherMap
  • Windguru
  • Custom HTTP
We've been using Wunderground since ~~ 2011, but I see some who are unhappy with them.

Which one (s) are you using?

None of them from CMX as my CMX is a test system while I convert my site to use CMX completely which is quite a task. The only one I use on my live system which uses Weather Display I send data to UKMO WOW and will use that in CMX in future.

I am intrigued to know why folks post to all these weather sites. For me I cannot see any value. I did try to post to some when I first started some 18 years ago but found that I was getting no hits from any to my site and frankly I doubted that many UK people would be using them. I also wondered if at least some of these sites would use the data commercially so decided that I would remove my data from all of them. Then along came UKMO WOW which I thought would at least be of some use here in the UK so that is the only one I use. Sadly now the BBC does not get its weather from UKMO which in my view is a backwards step and seems to make it a bit less accurate anecdotally.

My preferences: windy.com, weathercloud (windguru, openweathermap second rang).
To me, these really are reciprocal i.e. they give something back.

Any site which poses issues (like WU) is out. My own station is what matters and sites which are reciprocal may have my data. Everything else does not count.

Hans you have a valid point about giving something back. It's a while since I looked at some of the newer ones so maybe I need to look again.

I do them all, because it is easy to do, and each one presents information in a little different way. If they want to use my data I'm OK with that and don't look for anything in return.
I like PWS Weather.

Enjoy,
Paul

PWS Weather
Weather Underground
The latter because the iOS app PWS Monitor by Matt Brady gives me current readings, today’s highs and lows and graphs on one page for iPhone and iPad. Only downside side is a small banner ad at the bottom but otherwise free.
