Hello Forest-l readers,

I would like to introduce aWhere Weather, an interactive online platform
providing access to localized weather data, valuable for anyone doing
research in forestry or work in forest policy or management.

Through the support of an international charitable organization, aWhere
Weather 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)

The data is available every 9km from the equator (akin to having a full
meteorological station every 9km), and can be accessed online or through a
daily or weekly emailed weather report. This platform has been designed to
play a vital role in agriculture and land management initiatives providing
accurate, highly localized weather data for researchers, extension workers
and policy makers.
Access is free and easy. Register at http://www.awhere.com/en-us/weather-p.
Then, you can log back in anytime at me.awhere.com.
For questions on the platform, please contact weather at awhere.com. Enjoy!
