teamWeather is proud to announce the beta of the new teamWeather Weather Dashboard now available at teamWeather.com. The new Weather Dashboard allows users to access weather information such as current conditions, advisories, forecasts, and radar information for the United States.

You may be wondering about how you can connect one weather station to multiple computers in your local network. It is possible with Virtual Weather Station and the appropriate file sharing permissions on your network. If you are running Windows XP or above it is possible to enable guest file sharing with read only access to your Virtual Weather Station directory and allow users of your home or work network to remotely connect and download data from a single weather station.

Last week there was a major earthquake that shook Hati and surrounding regions in the Caribbean. Currently the USGS is still reporting that more earthquakes are following in the region causing more destruction. In response to the earthquake government offices such as the National Weather Service have given Hati things such as weather observation stations and also supplies to the region.

The National Weather Service (NWS) this week released a new prototype to inspire users of the cloud service Twitter to report their current weather conditions at their location. Using geocoding and hash tags, the NWS is asking for people to try this new service while they collect information to see how it could change storm reporting and citizen weather observations.

Today I added some updates to the Weather Updater that is located in the right-hand side of the blog page. I also have updated some of the site to make it fully XHTML compliant.

The previous weather updater did not include support for some of the native Virtual Weather Station components, but I have fixed it that Virtual Weather Station will upload data to the site instead of the site pulling it from the server. I have also included a snapshot of the weather camera located in Perkasie in the Rapid Weather Updates.

In easier terms: I have enabled faster data access to weather information provided by my weather station.

In the next version I will try and provide weather stickers as well as some code to share for those who want to try the Virtual Weather Station components on their own servers or hosting providers.

Data should be flowing to the web site every 3-7 seconds and the page in the Internet browser should be updating every 3-8 seconds (depending on server load).

This Christmas I wrote an application that allows users of the teamWeather web site to gain quicker access to our weather station’s information with rapid updates. By using PHP, Virtual Weather Station, and a CSV file we can provide updates to our users every 3-7 seconds through the teamWeather web site instead of using Weather Underground.

We will still upload data to Weather Underground, but if you come directly to teamWeather.com you will be able to access our data much faster.

Please note that this service is currently experimental and may be disrupted at any time. If it does become disrupted it will go back online in a short period of time.

We hope you enjoy this new service. To start using it, just look on the right hand of the web page and you will see it. Below is a screenshot:
