Tired of Your WeatherLink.com Dashboard? Here's a Better Way
Every Davis station owner has a weatherlink.com dashboard. It came free with your station, it shows your data, and it works. But if you have been using it for a while, you have probably noticed its limitations.
The layout is fixed. The design is generic. Your page lives at a weatherlink.com URL that does not feel like yours. Historical data rolls off on the free plan. And the features that matter, like wind roses, air quality dashboards, and severe weather alerts, are simply not there.
If any of that sounds familiar, you are ready for something better.
What you are missing
A weather website for your Davis station can do a lot more than the free WeatherLink dashboard offers:
- Your own design. Your logo, your colours, your fonts, your banner. The site looks like yours because it is yours.
- Your own domain.
weather.yourname.cominstead of a long weatherlink.com subdirectory. With automatic SSL. - Permanent history. Every reading stored forever. Your all-time records, charts, and almanac keep growing year after year.
- A wind rose. An interactive chart showing wind direction frequency, built from every anemometer tick. WeatherLink does not offer this at all.
- Air quality dashboard. If you have a Davis AirLink sensor, full EAQI and US EPA AQI displays with colour-coded index levels.
- Severe weather alerts. Official warnings from the US National Weather Service and MeteoAlarm for Europe, shown directly on your site.
- Astronomy panel. Sunrise, sunset, moon phase, day length, and twilight times calculated for your location.
- Multi-language support. Your site can display in English, Dutch, French, or German, depending on your audience.
- Email alerts. Edge-triggered notifications when temperature, wind, rain, or air quality cross your thresholds.
- Mobile-first design. Every site is built for phone screens first, then desktop.
None of these features are available on the free WeatherLink dashboard. Some are available on WeatherLink's paid plans, but you are still locked into their design and domain.
What stays the same
Moving from WeatherLink to a site like Pro Weather does not change the things that matter most. Your station still uploads to WeatherLink the same way. Your WeatherLink mobile app still works. Your data is still backed up at Davis. The only difference is how your data is presented to the world.
The switch takes five minutes
The best part: you do not need to change anything about your station or your WeatherLink account. You just generate a free API key, paste it into Pro Weather, and your new site is live. The WeatherLink dashboard keeps working exactly as before while your new site runs alongside it.
