It would be nice if you could add your weather station to the Weather Underground website. There is a station in SeaCliff and Golden Gate Heights/Forest Hill but none in between. Golden Gate Park and your roof being green should give a more accurate reading. But you should check with a meteorologist to see if you gage is too close to the surface.

A quick update from the Academy – we are looking into posting real-time readings from the Academy roof on our website (stay tuned). And in the meantime, we’ve just launched the first ever webcam on the Farallones, so if you’re curious about the weather out there, check it out at http://www.calacademy.org/webcams/farallones/.

Another voice for publishing the weather data. I live nearby and am considering putting a small wind turbine on my roof. It’d be great to know what the rooftop winds are doing

Yes, I too would appreciate seeing the data from these instruments published.

So, are you going to post the readings from the weather station online? As a neighbor, I’d appreciate it!

Thank you so very much! This information is good for the public, of course, but mostly for us, guides and docents, who need to know about these features and answer questions, particularly to satisfy the very active minds of children.
