The Truth About AI-Generated Code Isn’t What You Think
During the summer of 2026, three meteorology students used AI to build weather applications for storm chasing, fishing, and aviation. Their experience revealed an important lesson: AI-generated code can accelerate software development, but domain expertise is still essential for validating results, solving complex problems, and building tools people can trust.

Better Observations Through Proper Weather Station Siting
A weather station is only as accurate as the location where it’s installed. Learn why weather station siting matters, how the WMO defines proper siting standards, and how placement affects temperature, precipitation, wind, humidity, and solar radiation measurements that support everything from weather forecasting to aviation and utilities.

Student-Built AI Weather Applications in Action
This summer, three student interns transformed ideas into AI weather applications using Wet Dog Weather data. From a storm chasing dashboard to a fishing weather app and an aviation weather platform, each project demonstrates how AI, software development, and meteorology can come together to solve real-world problems. Watch their final presentations and learn what they built, what they learned, and where they hope to take their projects next.

NDFD Weather Codes: A Practical Guide
The National Digital Forecast Database contains much more than temperature and precipitation forecasts. One of its most useful features is NDFD weather codes, which summarize forecast conditions in an easy-to-display, query, and incorporate format for your applications. In this post, we look at how these codes work, what they represent, and why they’re valuable tools for developers building weather-aware software.
Have a project in mind?
We are a Software as a Service company, and we charge accordingly. Our customers rent their own Boxer stack and gain access to our Terrier front-end libraries. We process a variety of standard data sets, which is…. standard. But we also process custom data you may buy or generate yourself. That’s where things get interesting
