I'm hoping to storm chase with my dad in the summer, and I would like to measure wind speeds, temperatures, pressure drops and rain, but we won't have the space for a laptop, so I need to know if there are any apps that I can use to monitor and record my weather station. The equipment is listed below:

 

Acer Iconia one 7 tablet,

An OTG cable for connecting usb things to my tablet,

the weather station is one from maplins, a £50 one,

 

Any and all help appreciated,

See you UK fellas round the storms in summer.

There's not much I can think of to be honest. I presume you're using Cumulus or Weather display to emulate your station data on a laptop or PC at home? If that is the case, there's nothing out there to make it work on a tablet. There are some stations from the states that can work via a tablet or smartphone but the transmission frequency used on them is used for mobile phones over here- you can get in to trouble.

Only other thing I can think of, is Netatmo. I have one. The station just connects via WiFi and sends data to their servers which you can view on the web or via an app. You can click my signature to find out more.

I have one as well. Think its great waiting for the wind gauge which should be out in the summer
