Sandaysoft says the software should work with Davis stations with the dongle, in addition to some Oregon Scientific, Fine Offset, and La Crosse models. We'd even argue Cumulus does graphs better. Its interface reminds us a lot of WeatherLink.

What catches our eye here is the IFTTT support, which allows you to use your weather data to trigger events on your smart devices and the Amazon Alexa support which allows you to ask Alexa for a report on the current conditions or for a report about a specific day, month or year.Ĭumulus (Windows/Mac/Linux): A free option-as long as you're willing to deal with outdated software-is Sandaysoft's Cumulus. Compatible with a wide variety of manufacturers either directly or with the addition of the Ambient Weather WeatherBridge. The interface is intuitive and user-friendly because it is both a cloud and web-based service that it will run on any device with a web browser. It also allows you to upload your weather data to the Internet, either through the Weather Underground or to your own website.Ī (Web): Ambient Weather's cloud based service is one of the most-recently developed personal weather station software options. While the software itself is a bit dated, it offers a high degree of customizability on how you can view your data. This is because the software itself is bundled with a special dongle that is necessary to connect your Vantage Vue or Vantage Pro2 to your computer. WeatherLink (Windows and Mac): If you’re a Davis weather station owner, you don’t have much of a choice other than to purchase the WeatherLink software-regardless of whether you use it or not. What software is the best to use? Here are our recommendations.

Our Weather Station Software Recommendations A Software suite gives you much more control over how your data is displayed, as well as giving you the option to store data as frequently or infrequently as you’d like.

It's, for this reason, we instead recommend you install a software package to analyze historical data versus relying on a service like Weather Underground. Additionally, its display options for historical data are limited, so if you are looking for specific weather data (say a graph of a select number of days), you’re restricted in how it is displayed. Because of the sheer amount of data the Weather Underground must process due to the thousands of stations on its network, it only captures data about every 10 minutes. However, its historical data options are limited.

The service is ideal for displaying up-to-the-minute data from your station. The Weather Underground has its limitations. If merely sharing your weather data to the world is your biggest goal, then just uploading it to the service will be sufficient. A popular destination for sharing weather data over the Internet is Weather Underground, which is the world’s largest database of live personal weather stations. Modern personal weather stations offer internet connectivity, which in turn allows the station to upload data to the Internet. Can I Just Use the Weather Underground Instead? In this case, your only software option may be a third-party application. Additionally, Mac users might run into compatibility issues, as most manufacturers only produce software for the Windows platform and not the macOS. We think the included software options will be sufficient for most, although your specific situation might require a software application that is more robust.

Generally, the free weather software options are limited and often lack reliable customer support.

While typically these are “shareware,” meaning you can download them for free to try but must pay for a license if you plan to continue to use them, a few options are available at no cost. There are also third-party software options available if the included software doesn’t meet your needs, which we’ll cover later. There are a few stations-most notably the Davis Vantage Pro2 and Davis Vantage Vue-where you’ll need to purchase some type of attachment or dongle to connect it to a software program, but those are few and far between. Most weather stations come with software in the box. Where Can I Get Free Weather Station Software?
