Toddville Weather

Thank you for visiting our Toddville Weather Station web-site! If you've found this site, you probably live in Toddville and checking on the local weather with our very high SoDoCo summer heat indexes!

A little about us and our website. We've been South DoCo residents for 25 years, and have been tracking the local weather as weather hobbyists for almost that entire time. We weren't able to find any weather statistics locally, so we bought ourselves a basic weather station 20 years ago. We wired it into our old Windows95 computer and uploaded our data to Weather Underground. A few years later, we invested in a Davis Vantage Pro2, and started our Toddville Weather Page shortly after. Our original Davis Vantage Pro 2 seved us well for over 12 years. It logged Temperatures (with heat index and wind chill factors), Dew Points, Humidity, Wind Speed, Rain Rate and Daily Rain Totals. This data was wired into my very old iMac that has been running non-stop 24/7 for 15 years, and is still being used to create and run our webpages. Utilizing WeatherCat software and a data logger, we are able to store all data sets, analyze weather data day to day, month to month and year to year. Previous data sets are avaialble on our own site, CWOP, and WU.

How this all works...Weather data from our Davis Vantage Pro is sent wirelessly to an indoor weather console. From there it is wired into my iMac. With WeatherCat Software, this data is integrated into my html / php pages and uploaded to our personal weather website (Toddville Weather). Data sets are also streamed to Citizens Weather Observer Program (CWOP) and from there goes to NWS. We also send live streams of data to Weather Underground (subsidiary of Weather Channel) Station ID KMDTODDV2, Davis Weather Link, AWEKAS (european based weather), MesoWest, and several other smaller weather agencies.

In June of 2023, we upgraded our weather station to a new Davis Vantage Pro 2, and upraded our internet from DSL to Starlink. This allows for greater reliability and faster upload speeds than in previous years. With our new station, our rain guage is consistently working and our wind anemometer has been raised to 20' for greater accuraracy with measured wind speeds and gusts. I recently re-designed and updated our Toddville Weather webiste for easier navigation to include quick links for Hurricane Forecasts, and Tides. Now that we have faster upload speeds, live Radar and Lighting activity maps are also on our main page. Our website is always a work in progress! Our equipment and web-site are complelely self- funded, so no ads or annoying pop-ups on our site.

The weather forecasts, warnings, and weather discussions found on our site are obtained from the National Weather Service , NOAA, MesoWest and Weather Underground (a subsidiary of Weather Channel). We share our data with WU and NWS, and they allow us access to use their forecasting on our weather website. As we are a privately owned and run station, please consult the pros at National Weather Service for any important weather decisions that may result in harm to self or property.
