If you own an Electronic Weather Station, such as those described on the WeatherMatrix Weather Stations page, you may be looking for software which will log data or upload to the Internet. If so, you have come to the right place. If you know of additional software not listed here, have a weather station not listed here, or have updates to this page, please contact us and we will add or update it.

I. First, we have our Featured Software section in which we highlight leaders in the field and software that goes above and beyond the regular call of duty with multiple stations and features supported.

II. Beyond that, you can peruse the Stations Supported List below for your station, then click for more information on that software. Popular operating systems or languages are shown for your information. If there is no icon then that software does not support that station. Mouse over a station to see the Full Name or click on a Weather Station Name for more information on that Station.

III. Once you have determined what software supports your station, we are offering a Features Comparison list so you can quickly pick software that fits your needs. Mouse over each Column to see a description of that function.

IV. Finally, we have some miscellaneous Macintosh software and Source Code for programs that run the WX-200 and WM-918 stations.

If you are looking to write your own software, you may find some help on the WX-200 Planetfall Site.

WeatherView32

WeatherView32 is a full featured software package for Windows which offers broadcast quality graphics and slideshows in its most premium version. It is the only software reviewed which uses the GIF format, which saves download time and makes better looking graphics for the web. It is also the only software reviewed (11/99) which has the full Climatological database (8200 Cities) so you can populate your web page with local Normals and Records along with your own weather data. It also can create Sky Conditions through METAR retrieval and has text file and HTML page upload, as well as HTTP file retrieval, Email, and Pager delivery. New in Version 6.0 is "ActiveWeather" which allows a user to see near-real time data from your station displayed (direct internet connection not required).

Weather Display

Weather Display is an up and coming software package whose features and list of stations supported runs for miles. Just a taste: Supports WAP, APRS, SYNOPTIC obs, TCP/IP Client/Server, extra sensors, wind generation potential and percentage wind direction calculations, and even has a DOS version for some stations (the Windows version supports over 20 stations!) More information, as well as demo versions, can be obtained at the Weather Display website.

MisterHouse

I have to admit this is the coolest adaptation of a Weather Station. This fellow has his entire house controllable through the Internet, and has a WX-200 weather station helping control his house and announcing conditions over a loudspeaker. The source for his scripts arehere and more information on how he set it all up, as well as media articles about his house, are available at MisterHouse.Net.

RetrieverWL

This unique application connects to Rainwise Weather Stations to download weather data from their memory logger into a Palm Pilot. This information can then be synced to the user's desktop computer.
