Hiii, I’m trying out tumblr for the first time and tbh I’m not quite sure what to post on here, but it’ll probably end up being a bunch of weather stuff and other cool things I discover and want to share!

What Are Automated Weather Stations?

Automated Weather Stations (AWS) are modern, self-contained systems designed to monitor and record weather conditions without the need for constant human oversight. They are equipped with a range of sensors and instruments that collect real-time data on various environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, rainfall, solar radiation, and atmospheric pressure.

How Do They Work?

At the core of an AWS is a set of sensors connected to a data logger—a device that stores the measurements. These stations are often powered by solar panels and include a battery backup to ensure they can operate in remote or off-grid locations.

The data collected is automatically transmitted to a central server or cloud-based platform via cellular, Wi-Fi, or satellite communication. This allows users to access the weather information from anywhere, often through a web dashboard or mobile app.

Key Features of Automated Weather Stations:

Real-Time Monitoring: Provides up-to-the-minute weather data.

Remote Access: View data online from your phone, tablet, or computer.

Low Maintenance: Once set up, they require minimal intervention.

Customizable Sensors: Many models allow users to add or remove sensors depending on their specific needs.

Data Logging & Alerts: Stores historical data and can trigger alerts for specific conditions like high winds or heavy rainfall.

Who Uses Automated Weather Stations?

AWS units are used across many fields:

Agriculture: Farmers rely on them for irrigation planning, frost warnings, and crop management.

Construction & Engineering: Sites use AWS to monitor weather for safety and project planning.

Research: Scientists and meteorologists collect climate data over long periods.

Education: Schools and universities use them for hands-on learning in environmental science.

Homeowners & Enthusiasts: Personal stations are great for tracking local weather in real-time.

Why Are They Important?

Automated Weather Stations offer accurate, continuous, and location-specific weather data, which is essential for decision-making in many industries. Whether you're a farmer looking to optimize crop yields or a weather enthusiast tracking your local microclimate, AWS provide valuable insights with minimal effort.

HEAVY SNOW ALERT! Its -15 and it’s snowing at 10cm per hour! And the heavy stuff hasn’t arrived yet! Look at the moisture radar. It’s coming in hard. #rusutsu #niseko #hokkaido #japan #rusutsuholiday #rusutsuholidaychalet #bigsnow #weathernerd #pow #japow #weatherradar #snowalert https://www.instagram.com/p/CJcDYDNsu3Z/?igshid=9o9qlvg5jmdl

Spectacular end to “summer” last night. Photos never do weather justice. 🌈 #weathernerd (at Worthington, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B18mMgbhYHS/?igshid=9g3dgrwz47zm

My first time seeing a glacier up close and personal. Even though they’ve decreased in size considerably, the size of a glacier is impossible to describe until you’ve seen it for yourself. Did you know glaciers also create their own microclimates?! Katabatic winds consist of locally cooled air moving down the glacier creating much colder breezes and climate around the foot of the glacier compared to the ambient temperatures - Also I love the word Katabatic .

mammatus clouds! I've seen them in tons of pictures, but never from my driveway. The weather nerd in me geeked out!! #mammatusclouds #puremichigan #michigansky #clouds #weathernerd

Why guess the weather when you can measure it yourself?

Let’s be real—weather apps are fine, but they’re often pulling data from some station miles away. What’s happening in your actual backyard? That’s where a wireless weather station comes in.

I’ve been using one to track wind, rain, temperature, and even humidity right from home. It’s honestly kind of addictive (and super useful). Whether you’re into gardening, storm-watching, or just want better info for your day, having your own weather data changes the game.

✨ Know when rain is actually coming 🌬️ Track wind speed in real time 🌿 Plan watering without the guesswork 📡 Even hook it up to smart systems like pergolas or sprinklers

We’ve got a bunch of options up at weathershack.com—from simple starter models to full pro setups. If you're into weather, it's worth checking out.

Stay curious, stay dry ☔

Small one wanted a tornado cake for his birthday. So, we made chocolate cupcakes, made grey cream cheese icing, and then used a blackberry as structure and covered it all with an inverted tornado of icing. The pretzels are meant to look like sticks caught up in the wind. Not really a Pinterest mom, but it was lots of fun. @weatherchannel @weatherunderground #weather #baking #tornado #birthday #weathernerd #kids #childhood #mommy #mommyson #howto #pinterestmom #cake #decorating #cakedecorating

*LIFE THREATENING RAIN GUYS* and it just happens to be called "Pacific Storm LUCIFER" haha (seriously though. Lucifer.) All jokes aside, Southern California is going to get blasted with rain. Torrential at times. Major flooding in some locations. Please don't have a bad ass attitude about it. As in, "ah we've gotten rain before. No big deal" Every weather system is different. BE WATCHFUL. CHECK YOUR RADARS. BE CAREFUL. STAY SMART. #meteorology #weather #weathernerd #california #socal
