Local Weather Stations to use for your Logs etc

[zacklaws]

I don't know if many of you know but there are quite a few weather stations around the country that people run from there house and record details virtually every 5 minutes on the net (Mine does but they all may not). I am lucky and have one about 12 miles from my home and is almost central on a lot of the routes I take so when I do my logs, decide my route etc I can get the information I need for my records. Information is also kept for as long as the station has been operating so you can look back and update records.

The one I have local which is based at Newport, East Riding is:-

and also

http://www.astromag.co.uk/wx.html

Both those are the same but in different format. If you want to know if there is one local to yourself search around on the following site or the map in the top web address:-

Hope you find this info useful.

Mines pretty good - I use it all the time especially if I have been away to see if the weather has been better or worse here (and how much water any crops got). If you are in Bristol:

Also good to see what the actual and recent wind speeds are before cycling.

I use accuweather.com, this gives hourly reports.
