OpenWeather Social Initiatives
Education
We created a hub of bright ideas accumulated in one place! Students and educators from all over the world may obtain a free 6-month access to the OpenWeather’s product packages data to be used in their research projects. The more people who have access to the climate data, the larger potential it may unleash.
Healthcare
COVID-19 revealed the healthcare risks our society continues to face. We would like to carry on supporting the independent research groups that tackle down the current healthcare challenges. The least we could do is to provide a free access to our Medium plan for Historical Weather Collection which includes the atmospheric parameters to consider in modelling the COVID-19 behaviour.
Open Source
Developers across the world benefit from the Open Source software ecosystem and OpenWeather is not an exception. While influenced by the platforms like Wikipedia and OpenStreetMap, we have used the Open Source software in the foundation of our platform. To inspire the Open Source developers and to facilitate the accessibility of weather data, we choose to gear up those who contribute to the Open Source infrastructure.
Weather stations
Join us! If you also believe in the significance of climate data in tackling climate and healthcare challenges and would like to contribute to our initiatives, then we invite you to connect your automated weather station to our platform. The accuracy of weather data benefits from enthusiasts from all over the world and we reward these contributions with our Startup plan for free.
