I have two personal weather stations installed at my home. One is a WeatherFlow Tempest. It is installed about 100 feet south of my Davis Vantage Pro 2 station. You can see the public data from the Tempest station here and data from the Davis station here.

I wanted to learn MySQL, IIS, HTML, XML, and server side scripting so I thought I would run a web site. Weather had always fascinated me and I had a weather station at my house, so why not use the station data to provide near real time weather information in a format I liked? So this is the result.

My two favorite hobbies are weather observation (Citizen Weather Observer Program ID: AP235) and amateur (ham) radio (call sign KD4PYR). Well, OK maybe a third - computers which are very useful tools for use in both ham radio and weather watching.

If your are looking for Kentucky climate information there is a great resource: The Kentucky Mesonet is a network of automated weather and climate monitoring stations being developed by the Kentucky Climate Center at Western Kentucky University.

On the ham radio side, I am a member of the ARRL - The National Association for Amateur Radio. I am lucky to be a member of a whole HAM family! My wife Jo KD4PYS, her sister Alison KI4BMI, my daughters Becky KG4BDO and Laurie KF4YWG are all hams. Also my dad Ron WA4HWN and his wife Carmen WD4AGY(SK), my brother Dave KC8YDM, and my father-in-law Al KD4PYQ(SK). Also my daughter Laurie's husband Alex KJ4HPE and Alex's dad Keith KJ4HPF have their licenses!
