Display on your WordPress site, in many elegant ways, the meteorological data collected by public or personal weather stations.

Description

Weather Station is a plugin that allows you to display, on your WordPress site, meteorological data from weather stations you have access to. It provides full support for many models of weather stations and for free or paid services… Whether you own a weather station or not, you can enjoy the power of Weather Station!

You can find many demos and documentation on the official website.

Simple and efficient

The use of Weather Station requires no knowledge of programming and does not require writing code. Just set it, and insert (in a page or an article) the provided shortcodes. And it works!

How does it work?

Once you have connected the plugin to your weather stations (via the dashboard of your WordPress site), the data you have access to is collected regularly and stored in the database of your WordPress site. The various controls and viewers now will get their data from this database with the certainty of having fresh and cached data.

To see all available widgets, controls and viewers, please take a look at the live demo.

NO. Weather Station is a free software. That means you (the users) have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software.
