AWEKAS is an automatic weather mapping system for data provided by private weather stations around the world. It was started in Austria and has been in operation since 2004. It has over 2,000 weather stations participating around the world, providing data in German, Dutch, English, French and Italian. The initials stand for "Automatisches WEtterKArten System".
 
It supports a number of weather stations, including Cumulus, and details on how to confirueconfigure this are below. Membership to [http://www.awekas.at AWEKAS] is free and requires registration.

=Configuring Cumulus for AWEKAS=
 
 
All values must be on a separate line and aeach lineentry returnend with a <nowiki><br></nowiki> tag has to be included.
 
 
You MUST tick the box "Process" as this tells Cumulus to read the file and replace the webtags with data before uploading it to the web server.
 
Force Cumulus to do a Web Update, or wait on the next scheduled update. Now browserbrowse to the file on your site....example, <nowiki>http://www.mysite.com/data/awekas_wl.htm</nowiki>
 
If you see a file with values, and not webtags, you have successfully configured Cumulus. Now visit http://www.awekas.at, register for an account and as part of that process use the web address you have just tested when asked for the location of your file.
If all works, AWEKAS will soon start retrieving your data -- this can often take an hour or so to start.
