In the past, I have frequently referred to blog postings on the Weather Underground site, but have not explained much about the site itself. As part of our series on sources of weather and climate data, I would like to introduce you to the rest of the site. It is located at https://www.wunderground.com.
Weather Underground is an excellent source of real-time weather data. Much of it is available on their interactive WunderMap, which allows you to view data from both official stations and amateur observers who have chosen to link their backyard weather instruments to the site. You can click on a station to get more information about that site. They also provide archives of historical data for these stations, radar, satellite, and weather maps, and information on severe weather. Weather Underground is so successful that they were purchased by the Weather Channel, although they are run as a separate entity.
