PWS Connect displays weather station data for up to the past 7 days this is continuously updated in the background. No more having to open an app to see what's happening with your station! The app displays trends for barometric pressure, temperature, wind, and humidity with beautiful, informative, and fully interactive graphs on your iPhone and Apple Watch. PWS Connect provides notifications and alerts for conditions such as high and low temperatures, pressure changes, and precipitation. PWS Connect supports iPhone widgets and all Watch complication styles to keep you up to date on weather conditions at a glance, and currently supports Weather Underground, Davis WeatherLink, Ambient Weather, Xweather, and NOAA/ICAO weather station networks.

This app even has a forecast feature that shows you the forecast from the NOAA/ICAO forecasting station closest to the station currently being monitored. These are the same forecasts that pilots across the world use to fly safely.

PWS Connect also has a powerful history features that takes daily snapshots of weather station data which the app stores securely in iCloud. In the History screen, you can swipe left and right to go backwards and forwards through time through a continuous graph of previously saved weather snapshots stretching back weeks, months, and years, and you can explore any day in detail. In short, you can make your past weather station data come alive!
