KY6U WX APRS Weather Data

View Current KY6U WX APRS Weather Data

Automatic Packet Reporting System (APRS) is an amateur radio-based system for real time digital communications of information of immediate value in the local area.[1] Data can include object Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates, weather station telemetry, text messages, announcements, queries, and other telemetry. APRS data can be displayed on a map, which can show stations, objects, tracks of moving objects, weather stations, search and rescue data, and direction finding data.

APRS data is typically transmitted on a single shared frequency (depending on country) to be repeated locally by area relay stations (digipeaters) for widespread local consumption. In addition, all such data are typically ingested into the APRS Internet System (APRS-IS) via an Internet-connected receiver (IGate) and distributed globally for ubiquitous and immediate access.[2] Data shared via radio or Internet are collected by all users and can be combined with external map data to build a shared live view.

APRS was developed from the late 1980s forward by Bob Bruninga, call sign WB4APR, a senior research engineer at the United States Naval Academy. He maintained the main APRS Web site until his death in 2022.[3][4] The initialism “APRS” was derived from his call sign.

PWS Weather Has Listed KY6U WX Station

KY6U WX Weather Station has been listed as KY6U1 on PWS Weather

A little info about PWS Weather:

AerisWeather owns and operates PWSweather – a community that provides personal weather station owners with a user-friendly dashboard to monitor, manage, and archive their data. Each contributor’s data is also made available in AerisWeather’s API via the PWSweather Contributor Plan. With access to historical, current, and forecast weather data along with map layers through the Contributor Plan, subscribers can power various applications – from smart home automation to personal weather websites. Finally, all members of the community can take advantage of a number of professional consumer applications which have a native PWSweather integration. Popular apps such as Rachio, Carrot Weather, and Orbit B-Hyve each have the ability for users to leverage their own personal weather data to power the respective app.

KY6U WX Station Data is live on MesoWest

As part of our integration into the National Weather Service, KY6U WX weather site has been integrated into MesoWest. You can view our weather data on their site.

MesoWest is an ongoing cooperative project, started in 1996, to provide access to current and archive weather observations across the United States. Weather observations include but are not limited to temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and precipitation. Data are collected from a variety of organizations. Some stations participate in voluntary weather observing networks such as the Citizen Weather Observer Program. Others are part of mesonets that are managed by private firms or federal/state/local agencies. These data are available for a multitude of uses. Over 20,000 weather stations actively report to the MesoWest database.

KY6U WX is listed as station G2948 through the National Weather Service.

WeatherFlow-Tempest Inc.

A Weather Station So Advanced, It’s Simple

While general weather apps abound, the Tempest app is different. It feeds real-time observed weather data from your backyard into a machine learning system to dramatically improve forecast accuracy where it matters most – your home. No other weather app or forecast can compare because they don’t start with the weather conditions at your specific location.

AI Powered

An AI-Powered Weather App With Guaranteed Accuracy

A revolutionary design with no moving parts, nearly zero maintenance, instant online data, a free personal webpage, and a rich API powering a growing list of third-party applications. Install the Tempest home weather system in less than five minutes and it will do the rest!

Advanced Weather Station

Nearcast Technology™

The Tempest Weather System is far more than just a cutting-edge piece of hardware. Each Tempest leverages WeatherFlow-Tempest’s patented Nearcast™ Technology –  a layered solution that includes:

  • Better Observational Data. In addition to our Tempest Network, we ingest a massive amount of data from all conceivable sources, including satellites, radars, government surface networks and weather-equipped aircraft, as well as other private sources. Curated and standardized by our team of meteorologists and atmospheric and data scientists, there is no better input to a weather data system.
  • Better Modeling. Our AI-based weather modeling combines unique data assimilation, numerical modeling and machine learning. Our team of atmospheric and data scientists source the best available models from the major national weather services, including from the US and Europe. Initialized with our curated data sets, we also run our own high-resolution physics-based numerical weather forecasts. We train our AI-based output models to produce precise point-specific forecasts informed by the observations. The result is the best conceivable weather information available.
  • Better Decision Support. To turn this better weather data into better decisions, we provide our customers with powerful mobile applications & SaaS tools. Via our API, our data also integrates directly with the tools our customers already use.  Whether deciding when to cover their plants, quickly pay an insurance claim, prepare for a drop in wind power or move an aircraft carrier, we guarantee our customers will achieve a clear and measurable return on their investment in our service.
