A recent post shows some of the tools available to create real time applications for tracking weather using Node.js.

The great news for businesses with specific weather needs is that not only the data, but the ability to turn it into actionable intelligence, has never been easier. Actions could include “bring an umbrella,” “reschedule the picnic,” or even “get into the cellar NOW.” We want the shortest amount of time possible between having the weather data and knowing what actions to take as a result. In this way, weather for us can be measured as time-to-action (or more specifically, time-to- correct-action). However, there is only value created when we get actionable intelligence, when we convert the weather information into instructions for how we need to react. In other words, we interact with weather data, whether it is on our phone, on television, or hearing our neighbor talk about their swollen knee which means a storm is on the way. After all, although we don’t often think of it this way, our interaction with weather conforms to the “actionable intelligence” model. While this is itself impressive, it doesn’t solve the problem entirely.

Weather data has always been somewhat democratized, with many governments investing in the collection of weather data daily and providing it as a free service to the public.
