This website is automatically updated in real time (about every 2 seconds) with weather observations from an Oregon Scientific LW301 personal weather station located in North Tonawanda, NY. Weather data is received by a wireless console and handed off to the local network where weewx software residing on a Raspberry Pi Model 4 receives the data packets and decodes them and archives the data. It also presents that data in usable form for this website and to upload to various weather services on the internet. The weather station provides the following readings:
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Wind speed
- Wind direction
- Rainfall
- Barometric Pressure
The rest of the observations on this website are done via software calculations and quality control checks to make sure the data is valid.
All weather observations are also posted to the following websites:
- KNYNORTH32 on Weather Underground
- EW3103 on CWOP
Software used:
- weewx weather station software
- HighCharts for the various charts on the website
- The Belchertown skin theme built for weewx
- MQTT as the broker for instant data transfer from weather station to website
