Understand each feed
Feed analysis and timing monitoring help identify how often a source really changes, rather than treating every successful request as a new observation.
Our technology · DLW Ingest
DLW Ingest is our purpose-built weather processing software. It turns independent station feeds into structured observations, local area products and a growing archive—behind the website and Android app.

From source to service
Feed analysis and timing monitoring help identify how often a source really changes, rather than treating every successful request as a new observation.
Timestamp, plausibility and consistency checks help identify readings that should not enter the live area output.
ExploreEligible observations contribute to configured areas, with availability and source freshness retained.
Current readings and historical series serve different needs. Archived weather supports comparisons and charts.
A separate camera pipeline supplies imagery and dated timelapse alongside the observation network.
ExplorePublished data products support the DLW website, specialist local sites, Android app and its widgets.
ExploreWeather stations have different update intervals and can go offline independently. Our software monitors source timing and availability so the live product can respond to those differences.
This is software designed around a real observation network. We describe the checks and outputs directly rather than treating “AI” as a substitute for explaining what happens.
