Real-Time Weather DataMesoWest is a cooperative project led by the University of Utah, with a goal of providing access to current and archived weather observations across the United States through web-based resources. Through a series of almost 3000 Remote Automated Weather Station (RAWS) across the West, the MesoWest program provides climate scientists, National Weather Service forecasters, and weather enthusiasts with real-time weather conditions and past weather data. In November 2022, a RAWS was installed at Padre Island National Seashore near the Malaquite Campground. Data collected at this station will provide park scientists and wildland fire managers with critical weather information. You can see the RAWS data for Padre Island in real-time on the MesoWest site.
