Starting 7/25/2010, PlanoWeather.com began sending its weather data to PWSweather.com. PWSweather.com is a partnership between HAMweather, LLC and weatherforyou.com, LLC. The purpose of the program is to bring together data from personal weather stations worldwide, display it and make it available for other purposes.

HAMweather, LLC is the company that has brought you the HAMweather suite of products and services that allow you to easily add weather data and forecasts to your own web sites.

Weather For You was created to increase awareness about independent weather stations and the role they play in reporting information from areas where official NWS reporting stations don’t currently exist. One of their goals from the beginning was to bring together information from a wide range of private weather stations to a single resource. They also provide support and services to personal weather stations to enhance their web sites with various forecast and weather information products.

Its three main goals: 1) to collect weather data contributed by citizens; 2) to make the data available for weather services; and 3) to provide feedback to the data contributors so that they have the tools to check and improve their data quality.
