I came here to ask the same question and I saw the 40k number you mention and I visited the page you link to. The occassional blinking light on a google map does not really answer the question of how they accumulated data from 40,000 weather stations.
I got the following error when I tried the layer station link[1]:
×Ошибка 404 (depricated function, see more http://openweathermap.org/wiki/API/JSON_API)
Ошибка is russian for error/mistake.

- zalew 13y agothere is an upload api http://openweathermap.org/stations http://openweathermap.org/stations so I guess they scrap/connect 'global meterological broadcast services' and invite stations to submit their data.
- dfc 13y agoI do not like guessing. Trust, verify yada yada. Given the alternatives, NOAA (my preferred source but obviously american-centric) or WeatherUnderground I see no reason to use a service I need to make guesses about.
