A Brief Weather Summary
History
Welcome to my new look weather station information pages. After
three years service I have replaced my weather station. This is a
Davis Vantage Pro 2 with an additional solar instrument which measures
solar radiation. This is displayed as W/m2 - those of
you who are potentially interested in fitting PV solar panels may be
interested in this instruments output.
The station collects data all the time and transmits it back to the base
every two and a half seconds. This is then saved into a data
logger which holds approximately 90 days of information. Every ten
minutes the software downloads the latest data and makes it into the
graphic displays you see on the web pages. This is then uploaded
to the remote server.
The new station is much more accurate than the previous one. For
instance, the previous one measured rainfall to the nearest whole
millimetre whilst the new one measures to point two (0.2mm) of a
millimetre.
Page for Phone
For those of you with a smart phone, I've created a text only page with
all the data output by the weather station designed to be viewed on a
phone. At the top is all the latest data with monthly and annual
historical data towards the bottom. |
