Weather Underground, also known as Wunderground, is a global community of people collecting data from private environmental sensors (like weather stations and indoor air quality sensors) and sharing it with the world. The network comprises over 250,000 stations, making it a rich, reliable hyperlocal weather data and forecasting source.
Having a station capable of adding to the data network of Wunderground will lead to more accurate, hyperlocal, and exciting weather information, which benefits you and the world. For example, imagine the upside of more precise weather data during bushfires or storm events. By joining your weather station to the Wunderground network, you will connect with like-minded people helping to improve weather forecasting around the planet. How great is that?
