Guys, I have Weatherbug's ear and they are wanting to know how they can improve their data for our climate module. Please go here and post any improvements you can think of. The more we request the more action we will get.

Hi jmed999,

 

That's excellent news! The most important thing is rain and light data ... we have communicated with them in the past but nothing came out of it.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Michel, can you be more specific when you say "rain"? Do you mean only with backyard stations? Please explain so I can comunicate this to them.

 

I'm currently having problems with all my rates = 0 see here...http://data.backyard2.weatherbug.com/data/ecv.aspx?ID=p15937&NUM=27533&nbsp

 

Thanks for your support Michel!

Hi jmed999,

 

Rain information for some CA stations are non-existent. Light rates are not reported by all stations. So, in most cases, the customers do not really know if light information exists.

 

 

With kind regards,

Michel

What is they provided something like this... http://weather.albury.net.au/weatherlink/ha.htm?jmed999

rain data is piss poor at every station that I have ever tried anywhere near my current house or my old house.

I just got out of a chat from the main backyard guy and a programmer. The are close to adding UV sensor and solar radiation sensor info to the weatherbug stations.

I'm working with the backyard station guy. Since I have my own station the rain rate is VERY accurate.

Dear That's excellent news for all The most important thing is rain and light data, we have communicated with them in the past but nothing came out of it....!!!

The backyard guy and the programmer think they have UV info (light) now going to Weatherbug. They are wanting me to test it but I wont be able to until a few days from now. They are making great progress though.

I would like to see an improvement in the reported rain data. In my area (Long Island, NY) the reported rain rates are often not reported or obviously incorrect. I have tried different local stations, but I still can't seem to get reliable data.
