pywws.service.metoffice

Upload weather data to UK Met Office “WOW”.

The UK Met Office runs a Weather Observations Website (WOW) that displays readings from amateur and official weather stations. This module uploads data to it from pywws. You can upload “logged” or “live” data (or both). The module ensures there is at least 5 minutes between each reading as required by the API.

• Create account: https://register.metoffice.gov.uk/WaveRegistrationClient/public/newaccount.do?service=weatherobservations

• API: http://wow.metoffice.gov.uk/support/dataformats#automatic

• Additional dependency: http://docs.python-requests.org/

• Example weather.ini configuration:

  [metoffice]
  site id = 12345678
  aws pin = 987654
  
  [logged]
  services = ['metoffice', 'underground']
  
  [live]
  services = ['metoffice', 'underground']
  

Note that a site id allocated since June 2016 will probably look like 6a571450-df53-e611-9401-0003ff5987fd.
