The Weather Underground PWS dashboard updates, usually,about every 10-20s, I think.Hi, Bret. I am in central Texas, a little southeast of Austin. My weather station is at alysonwonderland.org. The weather bureau web site does not restrict access: --
I assume this is off topic, but the Australian Bureau of Meteorology operates many web pages with specified frequency of update. The most used are the radar and current observations pages that update every 10 minutes.

An alternative source is department of agriculture data updated each minute at https://weather.agric.wa.gov.au/ This also has a much higher density of stations that the BOM network.
Personally I run Arduino systems monitoring my personal weather sensors, with a plan to use my Raspberry Pi under Raspbian to publish the data along with my existing ADSB receiver data.
