You are in the same case as the one previously mentioned: after December 27th, 2018, Weather Station will stop collecting weather data for these stations and widgets and controls will display wrong values.Īs these stations are yours, I suggest you set Weather Station to directly query these stations. You are a PWS (personal weather station) owner.

If it’s the case, you can collect it just by adding a WeatherFlow public station in Weather Station (no API key required). In Weather Station, these types of stations are called “Virtual weather station”.Īlternatively, you can also check if a WeatherFlow public station exists at the location you are interested in. You will have to recreate your stations and regenerate the shortcodes but the data you will get will be equivalent. I suggest you use, right now, the free OpenWeatherMap services instead. After this date, Weather Station will not collect weather data for these stations and widgets and controls will display wrong values. If you collect Weather Underground stations, you will have access to these stations until December 27th, 2018. You’re not a PWS (personal weather station) owner. But a business model that leaves its first users on the roadside!Ĭurrent API services offered to individual users will close at the end of this year!įor all those who use Weather Underground services in Weather Station, this will have significant consequences. It’s over for the B to C! Here is the B to B, a business model certainly more profitable. IBM has decided to turn Weather Underground (and The Weather Company) into a business focused on other companies. In question, presumably, a poorly designed change in Weather Underground’s infrastructure. Worse, in recent years, the stability of these services even became the laughingstock of the small world of amateur meteorology. Initial services received almost no improvement. It could have been a virtuous model, but it was not.Īfter the acquisition in 2012 by The Weather Channel and after the acquisition of The Weather Channel (renamed The Weather Company in the meantime) by IBM in 2015, this model was even catastrophic. Then, little by little, the model evolved, to “incite” those who consumed more data than it brought to pay this data. There was no question of paying or being paid for the data that was shared there. A place where each user could exchange around weather and meteorology. Initially it was a data-sharing system for weather enthusiasts and personal weather station owners. Weather Underground has always been a kind of UFO in the “weather-services” landscape…
