Hi all,

Is is not possible, to collect and use data from PWS and use them fro the actual weather in yowindow.?

For example this webpage http://www.nordicweather.net/index.php?sivu=100&lang=en have a lot of data from the nordic countries. all PWS in a private weather stations network.

In this way the program could be more precise.

I have learned that some members / users live far away from METAR stations. recieve wrong incorrect data for actual weather.

Just a question... is it technically possible.?

Hi!

Technically it's feasable, I just need find the time to write the code.

Though there is also a legal issue.
The data must be free to use.

And it's better to have the data in XML or METAR format provided.

So if you know a current weather service that gives the weather data for free, please let me know.
