There seem to me to be quite a few advantages that the Netatmo
weather station has over using a
weather app or a TV broadcast,
of which the most basic is that you get hyperlocal
data - right from your yard and your home.
The Netatmo
weather station also has the option to let you share access to the
data with others, either a single time or an ongoing basis, and to share your
data on a
weather map
of other users, which might be
of interest to those
of us that are into
weather data.
For instance, if the nearest
weather station is quite a bit distant from you, or is in a completely different type
