This website is automatically updated in real time (about every 2.5 seconds)* with weather observations from a solar-powered WeatherFlow Tempest weather station located in Durham, NC. Weather data are received from the Tempest, curated, validated, and archived locally for this website by WeeWx. In parallel, data are sent to WeatherFlow, where independent quality control is performed, contextual analysis is performed, and a hyperlocal forecast is generated.
The iconographic weather forecast on the home page of this website is provided by AerisWeather. Also included on the home page are two meteograms. Meteogram A, which is highly customizable, is capable of pulling data from various providers, including the Norwegian Meteorological Institute, NOAA, UK Met Office (national), SMHI, FMI, and DWD (MOSMIX model). The configuration of Meteogram A will change from time to time depending on prevailing weather concerns (e.g. presenting freezing rain probabilities during winter months). Meteogram B, generated as a free service from meteoblue, provides a fixed 5 day forecast.
