The **Ambient Weather Network** {% term integration %} retrieves local weather station information
via the [Ambient Weather Network](https://ambientweather.net).

Similar to the [Ambient Weather Station](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/ambient_station/)
integration, this integration gathers sensor data from individual weather stations.
However, in contrast to the [Ambient Weather Station](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/ambient_station/)
integration, which exclusively enables owners to fetch data solely from their owned stations, this
integration directly pulls public data from <https://ambientweather.net> without requiring an API key,
albeit with a reduced dataset (for example, excluding indoor sensors).
