Ok, finally found out how to register my station with them
http://reg.backyard2.weatherbug.com/reg/PwsRegPage.aspx
Register it here, once you filled in all your details, it gives you the needed info for Cumulus,
BUT
It takes about 3 days for the data to start showing apparently, and no current plans to support Solar data as yet!

I posted a screen shot of my WB page, here, on Cumulus.
To be honest, the data display is feeble and very amateurish. The US software is better, but still not up to PWS, WU, etc.
Let me know what data you find for your site. I had a hell of a job locating mine and several e-mails to the WB HQ produced very little.
With all the quality sites to upload data to, I don't need to bother with Weather Bug.
AWEKAS looks like a good option, but there is no box to tick in Cumulus and the WIKI upload tutorial is Greek to me.

I don't know about it being "Greek" mate I am no expert, far from it, if you read them carefully they do make a lot of sense

Sure, but one does need some basic programing knowledge/experience.

Download a file to your PC. Fill in a few boxes in Cumulus. Tell Awekas where to find your file.
Which is the part which requires programming experience? If it's the format of the file that is hard to follow, you don't need to understand any of that or do anything with it.
