Outdated
The program AAG WeatherCentre is no longer needed since 2017 because the CloudWatcher measures wind speed and relative humidity.
It is fully operational but not being updated – offered “as is”. More information below.
AAG Weather Centre is a free module which combines information from AAG_CloudWatcher with information from a standard weather station controlled by either Virtual Weather Station, Weather Display or Cumulus software. For this program to be fully operational, one of these weather station packages must be installed.
