I'd love to be able to purchase something like this and a weather station that will submit data to a free public service so people can receive better and more accurate / timely weather data. I can't tell if that is possible out of the box via AirGradient from this website (or if such a service even exists, as they only mention "24 months AirGradient data platform / map" which implies proprietary)? Do people know of a similar solution for a weather station?

We are working on an integration with openAQ [1] to share air quality with them (opt-in for people that use our data platform). OpenAQ is an NGO with the mission to collect air quality data from all kinds of sources from around the world and make it available to the public with its free API. However this would only cover the air quality part -not weather data.

The US NWS has a citizen reporting system for weather: https://www.weather.gov/iln/cwop. I don’t know what the integration looks like.
