With more than 20 years of hands-on experience using a wide range of personal weather stations — and thousands of hours spent researching meteorology — his focus is on making weather science clearer, more accessible, and more meaningful to everyday readers.
Own Your Weather was created to bridge the gap between technical meteorology and practical understanding. The goal is not sensationalism, but clarity: explaining weather phenomena, atmospheric processes, and climate influences in a way that is accurate, grounded, and easy to follow.
By covering a broad range of weather-related topics, Wessel aims to help readers better understand how the atmosphere works, how weather affects daily life, and how human activity interacts with climate systems.
He believes that the more we understand our weather and climate — and our role within it — the better prepared we are to adapt, respond responsibly, and make informed decisions in a changing world.
How This Site Stays Alive & Independent 🌤️
Own Your Weather was built with a simple philosophy: to provide deep-dive, high-utility tracking guides without compromising your screen with slow, intrusive, or distracting display ads.
To keep this vision alive, I operate with absolute transparency:
- 🚫 Zero Ad Network Revenue: I do not make a single cent from programmatic banners or tracking cookies.
- 🚫 Zero Corporate Funding: This platform has no commercial backers, silent partners, or brand sponsorships.
- 💻 100% Out-of-Pocket: All server hosting, precise meteorological data streams, domain renewals, and extensive research hours are funded entirely out of my own pocket.
Because of this choice, this platform is entirely dependent on voluntary, one-off tips from readers who value clean, independent publishing. There are absolutely no monthly subscription commitments here – just a simple, secure digital tip jar to help split the bill for the servers if my work has brought you value.
Thank you for keeping us independent!
