About Weather Rocks WeatherRocks.com - See The Weather » About Weather Rocks Weatherman says 'sunny and warm', you get 'wet and cold'. Forecast calls for 'chilly and drizzle', you arrive to 'hot and clear'. Time and time again, we suffered through the same erroneous forecast, always wondering 'why can't I see the weather were I'm going!' That's the idea that started Weatherrocks.com Why a weather rock? Best we can tell, the folklore of the weather rock predates weather forecasting by hundreds of years, and in all that time, the rocks have never been wrong. So we thought the weather rock was the perfect backdrop for both our website and poking fun at the too-oft incorrect predictions of the weatherman. Were does the weather data come from? Like ALL weather sites, our forecast and radar come from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Weather Service RSS. Our site is updated every sixty seconds to reflect the most up-to-date forecast and radar information available. Where do the live pictures come from? Short answer. Users like you! Long answer. There are over 8000 cities in the United States and Weatherrocks wants a unique camera shot from each. It takes time to build a database that large. So in the interim, we subscribe to open source camera feeds and place those cities in 'Cities with Weather Cams.' Cameras set up as a cities exclusive 'weather rock' are placed in 'Cities with Weather Rocks.' These cameras become the default image when you search their city.

Some cameras update every second, some minutes, others every 10 minutes and some once per day. We do require current and future Weatherrocks cameras to update at least every minute.
