Cumulus is free software for retrieving, storing and displaying data from an electronic Automatic Weather Station (AWS).
Cumulus will store full weather records, along with daily and all-time records, and graphical data. Cumulus can upload its data to a web server and comes packaged with template web pages for this purpose. Cumulus also supports automatic uploads to Weather Underground, PWS weather, Weatherbug, WOW and CWOP/APRS.
A variety of example [[Cumulus Screenshots|screen shots]] are available.
The current stable [[Cumulus Versions|version]] is 1.9.

''a note from the developer...''
I rely on your donations to allow me to buy the software that I need to continue improving Cumulus. 100% of any donation received goes towards software development, either towards the cost of new development tools or the cost of hosting this site. We don’t make a profit from Sandaysoft - I have a full-time job and Sandaysoft is what we do in our spare time.
