The SD Mesonet is in the process of upgrading most existing stations across the state. Work on new stations will begin in 2023. Ultimately, this will result in a total of 150 new or upgraded SD Mesonet stations as part of a multi-year collaborative project between the SD Mesonet and the Corps of Engineers.

We are seeking applications from public and private landowners statewide who are interested in volunteering to host new stations. Before filling out this application, please read our frequently asked questions for station hosts.
