I'm curious as to what software the member's here use with their personal weather stations to view the data and analyze trends. If I've left something off please let me know and I'll update the poll. You can vote for as many as you currently use. This is not meant to judge any one program against another, but just a way to see what programs are used by the members of this forum.

I use WL 5.7.1 with my 'still going' WMII.....VWS with my primary 6152, and Cumulus with my secondary 6152. Also using VVP with VWS so I can DL the first 6152 to WL 6.0.3( to keep backup records).

I only use WUHU to upload the data. I never look at my weather station on the computer. If I want to know something, I look at my web page, CWOP or WU or PWS Weather.

WD since 2006. Very happy.

smorris · « **Reply #9 on:** January 08, 2014, 04:14:27 PM »

I use WeatherCat from Trixology http://trixology.com

You also didn't include WeatherSnoop http://www.weathersnoop.com/home/

I have been using Virtual VP, Cumulus, WeatherLink, WeatherMap Live, Skymet and WebcamXP for 2 years now.

Skywatch · « **Reply #11 on:** January 08, 2014, 05:36:55 PM »

Another happy WD user right here. Best program I've used and will continue using. Love it!

I also run Cumulus on my laptop as a back up.

WD since 2005. Very happy with it. Also use VVP so I can use Weatherlink for certain functions.

Sorry about that. I've added those weather programs. I've also set up the poll so that any user can edit their data, so you can add or edit your vote to reflect your software choices.

Thanks!

VP2 is only 6 months old and I still using WL. Working on Weather Display currently and when dialed in it will be my primary.

I have selected WL and Cumulus. Still using WL once every 15 days to keep data up to date but using Cumulus as the main program since October 2008. Cumulus is very easy to use, does all that I want and more. Very happy with the ongoing development and excellent support. I have abandoned VVP. I also run a couple of other independent but Cumulus related programs - Cumulus Toolbox utility and Cumulus Realtime Data Grabber http://www.komokaweather.com/weather/grabber/grabberindexportrait.htm. And Yawcam for the webcam.

Hi Tall Guy...

I got WeeWx added to the poll. Thanks!

I am amazed that WUHU shows up with such few users. It is a really good program and I suspect that many people that are using Cumulus would be just as Happy with Wuhu it uses less computer resources.

You also left off Virtual VP. Although I realize this program is getting old and does not work with the newer data loggers.

My actual system sends data to VVP and from there it splits and sends to VP live and WUHU. VP live sends to CWOP and WUHU sends to everyone else. I can also run WL and Cumulus across my network to a different computer to log/archive data using WL, Cumulus or just about any other program if I choose.

All of the WX programs are on a netbook. I almost never touch it and do all of the controlling across the network using teamviewer.

I think your survey should have included VVP and Teamviewer.

Another advantage of WUHU is that the author is a member of this forum.

I also use VVP and Team Viewer but I was mainly interested in finding out what programs people used for interfacing directly with their weather data from personal weather stations. I know that others here use some radar specific software as well as lightning detection equipment and software too but I was mainly focused on the data viewing programs. It's too bad that VVP is no longer being updated, but I'm glad I got mine working well before the new data logger issues.
