Abstract: The FTP file transfer method based on traditional TCP/IP protocol and the service mode with one-time production and unified distribution of service products no longer meet the pertinence, diversity, high efficiency requirements of the existing services. In order to reduce redundant farming weather forecast service products, improve the operational efficiency and services pertinence, by adopting internet and cloud computing technology, authors took wine grapes in Ningxia hui autonomous region as an example and developed Ningxia farming weather forecast cloud services platform based on user location and farming activities. Online real time production and distribution of service products were realized in this research. This platform was mainly composed of three parts: data processing software, farming product cloud producing software and agriculture meteorological service APP. The workflow of this platform was as follows: basic data and necessary intermediate data in the Meteorological Service Network were uploaded to the cloud server database, then subroutines such as data acquisition, index comparison and forecast making were used, and finally related farming weather forecast were obtained through the API interface of the established cloud service website. In addition, farming weather forecast products with strong professionalism, time-validity and pertinence based on the user's geographical location were acquired through the developed APP. This platform can greatly improve the objectification, automation level and service product quality of farming weather forecast in Ningxia, as well as can provide references for specialization and fine development in farming weather forecast technology in China.
