Very cool!

Thank you Mr Torch! Ive become very anal about the weather sunce it was installed.

Ive now used pressure data from the nearest airfield (Sywell) to calibrate mine and correctly adjusted the relative pressure offset. In other words, it should now be showing more or less the corrwct air pressure for my location and altitude.

My only anxiety for you is it pretty much shows your exact location on the link?

Very cool!

About 4 degrees.

When setting up the station on weathercloud I dropped the pin a few houses along from mine.

The other half brought me a Casio watch the other day. It is a "Smart" watch. First one ive ever owned... It has a radar thing on it so i can see where the rain is and a barometer sensor built in. It's a nice toy. Nothing like your Bresser system mind. Looks interesting.

 

[Drago]

It is strangely fascinating. I'm praying for some high rainfall, strong winds or extreme temperatures (or all at once!) so i can observe and measure it all.

Good news! My station has been awarded a Gold Star for wualitymon Wundergroundmmfor providing cosnsistent and high quality data for 5 consecutive days.

Does it upload to the site automatically or do you have to manually put the data in every time you update the site?

Tsk, doth ye not know whom ye addresseth?

Squire Drago has the finest in interweblinkery - and staff too

Has the Met Office joined this thread yet?

 

[Drago]

It all uploads autoimatically, and everything is archived so I can download it for my own records.

So you don't have to do anything yourself- that's not in the spirit of meteorology Drago?

You do realise your neighbour 4 doors down is going to get a 'visit' for non-compliance from the Weather Girls as a result of your transgressions.

You should have a special glass cylinder marked off in mm and ml to measure the bottom of the meniscus level for the precipitation... a paper wind speed graph to tear off and a barometer to tap.

...and don't forget to wear your pith helmet when venturing to the bottom of the garden.
