Abstract:Weather is something that is constantly changing and analyzing the weather can be useful in many ways, even for real-time use. Perhaps you need to know where in the world it is raining at this moment or simply what the temperature currently is outside.

We intend to use SQLstreams data stream management system (DSMS) for real-time weather queries, most likely using the OpenWeatherMap API, which receives updates from over 40,000 weather stations worldwide. This would allow us to access a vast amount of data which is frequently updated and provides a simple protocol to simulate if more frequent updates of data is required.

One of the most important features of a data stream management system is the possibility to handle very large and rapidly changing data streams, despite limited resources like main memory size.
