Backyard Weather - PWS

Connect your personal weather station or use METAR or NOAA stations!

Personal Weather Station & Aviation Weather

Connect a PWS via Weather Underground, monitor aviation weather from any METAR airport, or track tides and coastal conditions from NOAA CO-OPS stations.

Three station types • PWS — personal weather stations via Weather Underground • METAR — airport observations, updated every few minutes at most US airports • NOAA — tide gauges and coastal stations

Current conditions Live readings with charts underneath, plus the record high, record low and average for today's date from your station's full archive.

Up to 12 metrics depending on station type: temperature, feels like, humidity, wind, dew point, pressure, precipitation, UV, solar radiation, visibility, water temperature, and water level/tide.

Rich history charts 1-day and 7-day charts you can drag to read exact values, times and wind direction. US airport stations fill in between the hourly reports, so today's line is a curve rather than 24 steps.

Alerts Get notified when your station crosses a value you choose — a freeze, a gust, an inch of rain — or when it stops reporting altogether. Pressure drops, temperature swings and wind shifts are built in as ready-made rules.

Customisable units & display 12- or 24-hour time, metric or imperial, and precision options for every number.

Color themes Nine palettes for your charts and calendars. Preview any of them across every metric before you decide.

Widgets (Supporter) Graph widgets for any metric over 1 or 7 days, a single-metric widget for one big number, a year-at-a-glance calendar, long-range history charts, a records widget, and Lock Screen complications.

Watch app (Supporter) Temperature, feels like, humidity, wind, pressure and precipitation as watch complications, with every current metric and its graph in the app itself.

History & Records (Supporter) Daily detail for any year your station has recorded — airports often reach back decades — plus all-time records, a record high and low for every calendar day, and yearly trends that overlay up to ten years on one chart.

Free includes current conditions, 1-day and 7-day charts, one month of history, one alert per station, and three colour themes.

Note: a Weather Underground API key is required for PWS stations. METAR and NOAA stations are free and need no API key.
