- **Event Name**: Pi Day Special: DIY Weather Station on a Raspberry Pi
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 15 Mar, 2026 at 01:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Get Ready for Pi Day: Join Our Weather Tracking MakerSpace Class!

Ever wondered if it’s really hotter now? Want to join the Weather Underground? Do you have a fancy weather console in your kitchen you haven't actually looked at in years? Want to know what's going on at your home rather than a near(ish) by courthouse or airport?

This Pi Day, dive into the world of weather tracking with us! Join our class where we’ll show you how to harness the power of a Raspberry Pi to monitor and analyse weather data. We’ll focus on WeeWx, a fantastic software that operates seamlessly on a Raspberry Pi paired with an Acurite Weather Station. Here’s what we’ll cover:

- Setup: Guidance on getting WeeWx up and running.
- Custom Charting: Learn how to create tailored charts to visualise your weather data.
- Forecast Services: Explore options to integrate forecasting capabilities. Hopefully... this may be a "working session".
- Citizen Reporting: Discover how to contribute your observations to services like the Weather Underground and NOAA's Citizen Weather Observer Program (CWOP).

If you got it, bring it.  If you have a Raspberry Pi and any supported hardware, bring them and we'll help you with setting them up. Check out the list of supported hardware. For the ambitious, there is an Instructables guide for setup; you can check it out in advance.

Ages 14+, Attendees under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times.
