Community weather stations
The Mukoko Weather Stations console at weatherstations.nyuchi.com lets anyone put a weather station on the map. Validated readings replace the modelled “current conditions” on weather.mukoko.com for everyone within 50 km — ground truth beats a model every time.
Register a station
Section titled “Register a station”- Sign in at weatherstations.nyuchi.com — the same Nyuchi account used on weather.mukoko.com.
- Choose Register a station, give it a name (e.g. Marondera High School), and set its coordinates — the Use GPS button fills them in if you’re standing at the station.
- Pick the station type: Digital (a console that uploads automatically) or Analog (manual readings).
Connect a digital console
Section titled “Connect a digital console”Most consumer stations (Ecowitt, Fine Offset, Ambient-style, and compatibles) support a “customized upload” destination. Point it at the mukoko network — no Weather Underground account required:
Wunderground protocol
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Server | weather.mukoko.com |
| Path | /api/py/stations/ingest |
| Station ID | your station ID |
| Password / key | your ingest key |
Ecowitt protocol
| Setting | Value |

| PASSKEY | <stationId>:<ingestKey> |
Imperial units are converted automatically, and every reading passes plausibility checks (quality control) before it becomes a validated observation.
Log manual readings (analog stations)
Section titled “Log manual readings (analog stations)”Farms and schools with a rain gauge and thermometer — no electronics — log readings directly in the console. Open your station card, enter any of temperature (°C), rainfall (mm), humidity (%), pressure (hPa), or wind (km/h), and submit. The same quality checks apply, and accepted readings join the network exactly like digital ones.
How your data is used
Section titled “How your data is used”station hardware / manual entry → raw archive → quality control → validated observation → live current conditions on weather.mukoko.com (within 50 km, last 60 min)Station status — last reading time and latest metrics — is visible on your station card in the console. Your ingest key stays in your browser and your hardware; treat it like a password.
