Hello,

I would like to introduce aWhere Weather.

Interactive and accessible weather data are instrumental for improved
research, more effective extension and greater context in shaping policies
related to the agricultural development. aWhere Weather provides an
interactive platform where researchers, policy makers and others working in
the realm of international development can access key weather data for user-
selected locations. In addition to viewing data online, users can receive
daily or weekly email notifications of weather data for their locations of
interest.

Weather data is collected at meteorological stations around the world and
interpolated to create accurate data in detailed 9km grids- it’s like 
having
a meteorological station every 9km. The platform offers free access to
historical, daily-observed and 8 days of daily forecasted ‘localized’
weather data for locations in South Asia and west, east, and southern
Africa. Weather Data are available for the following variables:
- Precipitation
- Minimum and Maximum Temperature
- Minimum and Maximum Relative Humidity
- Solar Radiation
- Maximum and Morning Wind Speed
- Growing degree days (dynamically calculated for your base and cap
temperature)

Access is free and easy. Register at http://www.awhere.com/en-us/weather-p.
