Wunderground's weather sticker added to my blog

The weather station that I've been using since March 2011 is Termometerfabriken Viking 02049--a clone of Fine Offset Electronics WH 2080. The station is connected via USB cable to my tiny Sheevaplug server and the software used is pywws. Yesterday I added my station to the pool of Wunderground's Personal Weather Stations (see Wunderground's weather sticker added to the right panel of this page). It have appeared to be pretty simple: one have to register to wunderground.com. Next one have to register his/her Personal Weather Stations. On pressing Submit button station ID is returned.

Now one have to change the configuration of pywws. I am using an old version of pywws (11.02 namely)---the exact details can be different when one is using newer versions.

In the configuration file weather.ini:

[hourly]
last update = 2013-01-07 08:09:00
plot = []
text = []
twitter = []
underground = False

change False to True

Add password and station ID to [underground] section of configuration file:

[underground]
station = IPOMORSK8
password = #######

To check if everything is OK run the command:

python  pywws/pywws/ToUnderground.py -v ~/data/weather

The above should upload some data to wunderground.com.

It is hard to find IPOMORSK8 at wunderground.com because it is not directly accessible from user's account. I have found my station only thanks to WunderSearch. Looking at nearby stations list is useless as well because It takes approximately 24 hours for our database to update all of our web servers and place your station on your local forecast page.
