Support for WOW Met Office

The Met Office is starting an automatic upload service

Details of the format at http://wow.metoffice.gov.uk/support?cat ... ts#dataAWS

Is there a possibility that meteohub could export and upload to this please?

You beat me to it. :D

I've just signed up for an account and am already delivering data via "another well known application", but if Meteohub had the facility...

David, I have also got an account, but am loading data manually just now. (Probably only once a day until I can get some way of using meteohub to do this automatically).

Warmest day (25C) since I started collecting data in Jan 2010.

I imagine this would be an addition to the Weather Networks page, but is there maybe scope for a general purpose http GET facility for the graph & data uploads page?

e.g. the user sets up a template that after being parsed to fill in the data values becomes the URL to be called.

As well as being usable for things like this (if a Weather Networks facility wasn't available) it could be used by users with php/asp/cgi expertise to feed routines of their own.

Just a thought...
