$ Beyond the standard portal
A WeatherLink alternative for the website your station deserves
You do not have to replace the reliable hardware connection. Use WeatherLink as the data source and Pro Weather as the public website and long-term archive.
- Works alongside WeatherLink
- Custom design and domain
- Growing historical archive
The most practical WeatherLink alternative for most Davis owners is not replacing WeatherLink at all: it is keeping WeatherLink as the reliable hardware connection and adding a proper public website on top. The free WeatherLink portal shows your data, but on a fixed shared layout, at a weatherlink.com address, with only recent history on the free plan and no way to brand or extend the page.
Pro Weather connects to your existing account through a free WeatherLink v2 API key and builds a customizable website from the same data: your own domain with managed SSL, full control over design and language, permanent history with charts and records, forecasts, official severe-weather warnings, astronomy, and optional relaying to networks like Weather Underground and CWOP.
Nothing about the Davis hardware or the WeatherLink app changes, so you can run the 14-day trial next to your current setup and compare the results directly before deciding anything.

Visit the live demoChoose it when presentation matters
The standard portal is convenient, but it is not designed to become a fully branded community, club, school, farm, or enthusiast website. Pro Weather adds control over the public experience.
Choose it when history matters
Once connected, observations are preserved for charts, summaries, and records that become richer as the station continues reporting.
Choose it when you want fewer moving parts
Unlike a self-hosted replacement, the site does not require an always-on home computer, operating-system maintenance, PHP hosting, or FTP uploads.

The WeatherLink portal alone is enough when
- You mainly check conditions yourself in the WeatherLink app
- You do not need a public site, custom domain, or branding
- Recent data covers your needs and long-term history does not matter
Add Pro Weather when
- You want a branded public website on an address you control
- You want history, records, and climate views that keep growing
- Visitors should get forecasts, warnings, astronomy, and their own language
- The station data should also reach networks like Weather Underground or CWOP
Most Davis owners do not have to choose. WeatherLink stays the dependable connection to the hardware, and Pro Weather turns the same data into the public website the portal was never designed to be. The 14-day trial runs alongside your existing setup without touching it.
[faq] Before you ask
Common questions
Does Pro Weather replace the WeatherLink app?
It is primarily a public website, archive, and publishing layer. You can continue using the WeatherLink app alongside it.
Can I try it before changing my existing setup?
Yes. The trial does not require a credit card and the connection does not disrupt the existing WeatherLink account.
