Have you found yourself checking your weather app every few minutes? (Often hoping that the forecast would change ;-).  I know I have. Well now there’s a network of weather stations being built out across the state of Wisconsin that’ll meet that need to know what the weather’s done this last five minutes.

It’s called Wisconet. I hope. you’ll enjoy this Deep Roots Radio interview with the program’s Research Program Manager Chris Vagasky. He describes how this expanding web of weather data collectors will help farmers, gardeners and the curious get weather info — for free — to help plan for the short and long term.

To learn more about the program, visit the Wisconet website. To contact Chris Vagasky, email him at vagasky@wisc.edu
