Most weather stations are maintained by individuals, but equipment and setup must meet certain standards to be included.
In my zip code, I have a choice of 13 weather stations to get my weather data from, including one in my neighborhood.
With WeatherBug, Google Weather, or Weather Channel, I have about three choices in my zip code, none of which are located near my house.
I also have a widget for my in-law's town in Sweden. WUnderground gives me about 10 choices, and I picked weather station located closest to them. With the other apps, they don't tell me where they get their weather from.
And, as an aside, how can you not like the meteorologists they hire? (
