Weather enthusiasts and weather station owners alike have a new go-to weather app for their iPad. WunderStation offers a unique perspective on data from individual weather stations within Weather Underground's network of over 37,000 stations. The WunderStation App allows iPad users to view, analyze, share, and compare data from personal weather stations across the world through a streamlined interface consisting of customizable charts and graphics. Not only can weather station owners closely monitor their station's data and operational status on the go, but anyone can access real-time weather data from any station in the network. With the ability to customize the display dashboard, the WunderStation app provides a personalized weather experience for each user, allowing them to prioritize the information that they individually care about. "WunderStation is unique not only for the breadth and depth of the weather data, but also its focus on beautiful data visualization that makes the information easy to understand. Each widget is designed to display data like an infographic with the option to expand and dig deeper. So whether you own a personal weather station or just like to geek out on the weather, WunderStation is the app for you!" says Allan Hui, Vice President of Product at Weather Underground. Started in 2001, the Weather Underground Personal Weather Station network was created to address the growing need for meteorologists to gain access to more granular data.
