WeatherCat is weather station software for Mac computers. WeatherCat is designed to work with hardware-based weather stations; as of this time, the following stations are supported:
WeatherCat can also send your weather data to the Weather Underground (Wunderground), the Citizens Weather Observer Program (C.W.O.P.), the Met-Office WOW program, PWSWeather, WeatherBug and OpenWeatherMap. In addition is provides close to real time Custom C.G.I. upload to a web-server for your own web-based applications along with the ability to send your data to a MySQL database opening up a world of applications in charting and analysis.
WeatherCat monitors the weather and can run a set of pre-defined and user-programmed alerts that can trigger emails and/or run scripts should an alert trigger; for example, to switch on your sprinklers, heating, or cooling. In addition WeatherCat can integrate with other systems via its AppleScript interface.
WeatherCat is designed to run 24/7/365 and doesn't normally require user interaction or maintenance. Important events are notified via email. For example, WeatherCat may detect a problem uploading weather data to Wunderground. It will typically be able to resolve the issue, but if it can't, will send you an email.

Only one gripe (that will hopefully be resolved in a future release): it is not possible to import my 10 years of data, in my case Davis .WLK format.

It is easy to set up and run with any weather station it supports. It can import data from a number of other weather station programs if you have been using something else. At the same time, it has advanced features that you will appreciate as your interest grows. It has a robust custom alert system to keep you informed of changing weather that interests you. It has an extensive graphing system to allow you to display the changing weather conditions.
If you want to share your data with others via Internet weather websites, it supports uploads to Weather Underground and CWOP. There is a free add-on available to upload to 3 additional web services and web templates that support several more upload services. For the adventurous, WeatherCat allows you to create your own weather website. There is a simple website built-in or you can create your own custom website. It is even possible to have real-time weather displayed using the custom CGI feature. There are a number of website templates using this capability that can be freely downloaded on the WeatherCat forum. For the truly bold, it is even possible to extend WeatherCat using the AppleScript interface.
WeatherCat’s “secret weapon” it is enthusiastic user-community that can be found on the WeatherCat forum. There you can find anything from troubleshooting hints to advice on setting up your weather station instruments. Trying to set up a home weather station can be really bewildering. Finding passionate and friendly Mac users comfortable with weather station hardware is reason enough to check WeatherCat out.

In addition to charting your data, it seamlessly sets you up with weather underground and Citizens Weather Observer Program, then goes a long way toward enabling the management of your own custom weather web pages.
There are some missing wish list items, but then this is version 1.0. Expect it to get even better with each new iteration. If you do weather on the Mac, or you want to do weather on the Mac, there is no better choice!

A great looking interface which is highly configurable to your own needs. takes very little computer resources too. All in all a bargain at the price, and a must for any serious mac weather enthusiast.
