Live data for individual weather stations

The Individual Weather Station View provides users with a detailed real-time snapshot of meteorological data from a selected station. This view is accessed either by double-clicking a station in the table view or expanding a station's quick view from the map.

The page is split into two sections:

  • A Data Panel on the left, showing live or recorded sensor readings.

  • A Map Panel on the right, indicating the station’s location and surrounding area.

Live Sensor Readings

The data panel prominently displays all live sensor readings, including:

  • Wind: Direction and speed over different time intervals:

    • 2-minute average

    • 10-minute minimum and maximum

  • Pressure: Atmospheric pressure at station altitude

  • Temperature: Current temperature, dew point, and spread

  • Relative Humidity

  • Precipitation: Duration and accumulation stats

The update frequency of this information complies with the standards outlined in ICAO Annex 3, section 4.1.3.1. The wind data is updated with a frequency of 10 s, and all other readings are updated at a rate of 60 s.

Data retrieval can be paused and resumed again by clicking on the corresponding buttons on the top right of the data panel.

Recorded Sensor Readings

Historical data is available for the current day (24-hour period in UTC). The graphs indicate the respective values measured by the weather stations. Wind directions are indicated as arrows within the graph. Wind speed and wind direction data include the 10-minute maximum and minimum values.

Historical data can be downloaded as JSON or CSV file by clicking in the download button.
