Anybody on here uploading their obs to the Met Office WOW site yet?
Haytor is up there.

I guess the null response so far is that people aren't bothered. Ah well
the aim of the site was to provide the amateur observing community with
a means of having their obs displayed on a map and at the same time
giving the Met Office some information. I know Graham Easterling was
interested in WOW at one stage?

I would be bothered but my software (Weather Station Data Logger) doesn't
seem to have the facility for WOW and, if I have to choose between my
software and WOW, I'll choose the software. After all, my site is already
on the internet.

Hi Howard, if you are using Weatherlink, see my reply to Nick.
My site (as you know) is on the Net too (and will be expanded vastly next
year) but it is great to see ones obs mapped and there are graphing
facilities on WOW to compare against neighbouring sites which is
interesting in itself. At one stage I was concerned that putting data onto
WOW would divert traffic from my site, but it hasn't happened and you can
advertise your site on WOW anyway!
Before anybody asks I'm not getting paid for promoting WOW but I was on
the development/testing team along with one or two others on here.
Interfacing with Davis/Weatherlink is an acknowledged weakness which is
being worked on but there are workarounds.

Cheers,

Will
