#IBM is selling The Weather Company to a PE firm. I have a feeling this is bad news for the crowd sourced #wunderground network. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/ibm-sells-the-weather-company-assets-to-francisco-partners/ar-AA1fCSDG

Wunderground wants me to change my password as part of some "migration." I know they suck now, but it still makes me a little sad. I've used them since they were still part of UMich in the 90s. 😢 #wx #Wunderground #tech

Weather Underground seems to show what the "storm total" might be on the first day, even if that day doesn't get much snow.
Issues:
A) isn't obvious
B) obliterates what first day will do

I've mocked up an alternative approach.

I've been auto-posting current weather conditions to Twitter directly from my weather station software for years. I'd like to do the same here on Mastodon.

Any suggestions on how to automatically post data on here either from Twitter or from Weather Underground, AWEKAS, PWS, WeatherCloud, et al? Nothing that I could find on IF This Then That, either.

Thanks!

I’m still trying to find a useful replacement for #DarkSky as a weather app. Does anyone know if there’s a way to get #Wunderground to show a week’s forecast with no scrolling, like this example from Dark Sky? (I’m also considering Carrot but would prefer a small map on the main forecast page with a moderate/basic subscription instead of needing an “ultra” subscription.)

Personal weather station components have started to arrive. I got the sensor gateway configured, calibrated and reporting barometric pressure values to @wunderground yesterday. Although I could set up #weewx and get it posting to #CWOP I'm holding off until all the sensors arrive. #weather #wunderground #hobby #ecowitt

Well I've ordered the replacement #Weather station. I'm going with #Ecowitt with haptic/ultrasonic sensor, a TFT display, gateway and air quality monitor. I'll be glad to get my station reporting to #CWOP and #Wunderground again.

This replaces my #DavisInstruments #VantageVue system which failed months ago. Its display and USB-COM serial data logger is just too janky to pay as much as they want to try to replace with working components.

Well that's my #weewx weather station software ported to a new #raspberrypi zero 2 w and all now working. Still posting to the bird site @brockleywhinsw for now. Also still on #wunderground http://www.wunderground.com/personal-weather-station/dashboard?ID=ITYNEAND10

In the USA, your tax dollars pay for #NOAA to collect weather data & distribute it to news outlets & other providers like #TheWeatherChannel, #Wunderground, #Weathercloud, etc.
However, you can get the same information for free from NOAA's website at https://www.weather.gov/

#Wunderground will shutdown their free API at the end of the year

Anybody recommendations for an open community that collects weather data and releases free services and historical data?
