The Nebraska Mesonet, a critical tool for weather monitoring and data collection across the state, has launched a redesigned, user-friendly website offering real-time weather data. The upgrade comes as the mesonet is growing its network of weather monitoring stations across Nebraska to offer more accurate data.
Through the new website, the mesonet delivers “data on demand,” updating every minute to provide current conditions. Previously, data could lag by an hour or more.
“Especially for severe weather or agriculture, knowing what’s happening right now is vital,” said Ruben Behnke, Nebraska Mesonet manager. “Whether it’s monitoring storms or gauging heat stress for cattle, conditions from 20 minutes ago simply aren’t as useful.”
