Add your weather station to the Meteo Cloud network
The Meteo Cloud network collects and publishes data from the stations that are part of it, in Italy and anywhere in the world. Readings are pulled automatically every minute, normalised and archived: from there they feed the live map, the comparison tables, the interpolated maps and the analyses we publish.
Joining is free: there are no fees and no subscription.
What your station gets
- Live data on web and app — temperature, humidity, pressure, wind, rainfall, solar radiation and UV, refreshed at every acquisition cycle
- A dedicated page with the current summary, charts and the day’s extremes
- A historical archive that grows day after day
- A spot on the worldwide live map and in the station comparison table
- A contribution to the interpolated maps, national and regional: your readings enter the processing alongside nearby stations
- Credit as the data author, under the name you choose
Requirements
You need a station that already publishes its data online, wherever it is. We support Wunderground, Cumulus and CumulusMX, Weather Display, Meteobridge, Wview and Davis WeatherLink (IP and Live): depending on the method we need either your account credentials or the direct link to the data file your software generates.
If you use Wunderground and cannot find your account API key, here is where it lives. Careful not to mix it up with your station password: they are two different things.
We only accept stations sited to WMO standards. This is not a formality: a reading taken in poor conditions is not simply less accurate, it distorts the comparisons, the interpolations and the averages of the whole network.
You can attach a few photos of the installation in the form: it is the quickest way for us to assess it together and, if something is off, tell you what to change before adding the station.
How registration works
As you fill in the form we verify your credentials in real time: we query the service and tell you straight away whether the station answers and with what reading. It is the quickest way to catch a wrong key or an unreachable data file, before you even submit.
You then receive an email summarising what you entered. We review it and write back as soon as the station is live, or if something needs fixing — in which case you simply reply to that email, with nothing to fill in again.
