4out of 5

Pros: Works well out of the box, Allows multiple sensors, Least expensive station, Easy hardware setup

Cons: Backlight won't remain on, No WiFi for output

Best Uses: CWOP station, WunderGround Station, Neighborhood Weather

Describe Yourself: Midrange Shopper

This is the least expensive station that will get you running on Weather Underground. You can also use this station to be a weather reporter for CWOP as well as your local TV stations. As mentioned earlier, download the free Weather Station Data Logger software from the internet. The 'free' software included with your station won't let you upload your weather data unless $ is exchanged.
Use your WSDL software to calibrate your sensors by using local benchmarks such as airports. Check out our weather station on wunderground: KNYSARAT12

Wunderground's Newest Weather Reporters- PoJo Station!

"When weather breaks, we fix it!"
Polly and I are big fans of Weather Underground. My good friend Leon introduced me to the site years ago and it's been my goto place for local weather ever since. Wunderground, as it is also known, is very innovative and open, allowing you to customize your weather information to your mobile phones, websites and blogs.

And, since they aren't owned by a big media conglomerate, there's a friendly, calmness to their site. One of the most interesting features of Weather Underground is the ability to select weather reports from Personal Weather Stations (PWS). These stations are run by individuals, businesses, schools, and local governments. I've always wanted to be a Wunderground weather station, so this year, Polly and my Mom got me started with the equipment needed to do just that!  So check us out- we are station KNYSARAT12 broadcasting from Saratoga's historic west side, 24/7!
