They are committed to delivering the most reliable, accurate weather information possible. Their state-of-the-art technology monitors conditions and forecasts for locations across the world.

AWEKAS is an acronym for Automatisches WEtterKArten System
(= automatic weather map system) and is, as the name suggests, a system which produces overview maps from the weather data provided by participating private weather stations.
The data is made available to AWEKAS by the weather station operators who upload a small text or CSV file to their own website.
AWEKAS then collects this data automatically, and processes it to provide up to date maps.
AWEKAS works automatically and provides every second current maps about temperature, wind, precipitation, barometric pressure,
and maps with current weather conditions and weather warnings.
If you want to participate to the AWEKAS project, it is obviously entirely free.

Citizen Weather Observer Program (CWOP) is a group of ham radio operators and other private citizens mostly around the USA that have volunteered the use of their weather data
for education, research and use by interested parties.
It is a public-private partnership with three main goals:
- to collect weather data contributed by citizens;
- to make these data available for weather services and homeland security; and
- to provide feedback to the data contributors so that they have the tools to check and improve their data quality.
In fact, the web address, wxqa.com, stands for weather quality assurance.

UK Metoffice - The 'Weather Observations Website' reflects recent advances in technology and how weather observations can be made.
At the same time, the growing world of social networking online makes it relatively easy for anyone to get involved and share their weather observations.
The Met Office is helping to co-ordinate the growth of the weather observing community in the UK, by asking anyone to submit the observations they are taking.
This can be done using all levels of equipment, so there are no cost restrictions.
