ambient-weather
===============

[](#ambient-weather)

This module is built for interacting with the [ambientweather.net](http://ambientweather.net) API. It utilizes the [ko\\json-cache](https://github.com/peledies/ko-json-cache) module to reduce pressure on the ambient weather API and to provide a faster load time for the weather station data.
