In 2015, the Natick Education Foundation awarded a grant to fund a weather station located at Bennett-Hemenway Elementary school.  In January of 2016, a WeatherBug station was installed giving local weather data access to all Natick residents and teaching tools to all K-5 schools in Natick. Many thanks to Ben-Hem parent Krissy Fernandes for spear-heading this effort for the entire district!

To view the weather data from Ben-Hem, visit our Online Weather Center at owc.benhempto.org.  This page will display the information collected from the "Bennett-Hemenway Elem School" station.

Download the FREE WeatherBug app on your iOS or Android device.  Add a new location and search for "Natick, MA".  You will see a list of weather stations in our area.  Select either the "Bennett-Hemenway Elem School" or "John F. Kennedy MS" station to see data from the school closest to you.

See the latest on how the WeatherBug system is being used in the Natick schools.  Teachers are able to tag @NPSWeather in their Twitter posts and the WeatherBug project team will post news and photos as they are available.  You can view our Twitter profile at www.twitter.com/NPSWeather

To get students excited about the weather, we have started our own YouTube channel (NPS Weather)!  Students from Natick elementary and middle schools will have the opportunity to record weather reports and contribute to the channel.  The pilot episode was released on 2/3/2016.
