NCDC Weather Stations
Overview
I’ve always wondered what it would be like to be a weather reporter on TV. How do they know where to put the smiley sun faces? How do they know where to put the temperature numbers and things? Is the placement just random? Well, if they used our NCDC Weather Stations API they would know exactly where to put their graphics every time! In fact, you can use the NCDC Weather Stations API to see the global dispersion of about 30k measurement stations of environmental conditions.
Would you like to know which weather stations were involved in reporting the weather in an area? By using the NCDC Weather API in conjunction with the 30k weather stations on record in the NCDC Weather Stations API you can finally find out!
