The weather station data feature will give you the option of downloading weather station data from a weather station close to your apiary.  Here is an example of how this will look on your weight graph:



Notice that the weather station data is plotted underneath the weight graph.  The grey shaded area is an indication of cloud cover.


Weather station data:


  • Cloud Cover
  • Wind
  • Precipitation
  • Temperature
  • Pressure



How to select your weather station


1.) From your hive monitor list select "Details"



2.) Select "Manage Weather for this Hive".  To move your hive to a desired location, press and hold the CTRL key and press and hold the mouse left button.



3.) Select a weather station near your apiary by clicking on the blue location pointer and clicking on "Select Station".



4.) Note the weather station information box on the left of the screen.  Click on "Save" on the top right to save this weather station.




5.) Note the weather forecast information bar now currently visible on top of the map.



6.) Weather data will start to appear on the monitor weight graph but not immediately since such data is released only hourly.  Initially, no additional data will be visible (or perhaps just a single data point).



7.) However, gradually data will start to appear under the weight graph.  See below, after about 3 hours after starting the weather station data downloads:



8.) After about 9 hours, more data is visible under the weight graph.
