About This Station
The station is powered by a combination of data from two Oregon Scientific weather stations, a WMR200 and a WMR928. The data is collected every few seconds 24/7 by an RFXCOM receiver and recorded by Meteohub software.
For most of the day, UK time Weather Display software, takes the data from Meteohub for further processing and analysis, updating this site every 15 minutes.
When Weather Display is not running, the home page automatically switches to a reduced set of live data uploaded every 15 minutes 24/7 by Meteohub itself.
When Weather Display is re-started, it first catches up with data that was recorded by Meteohub while it was not running.
The both WMR200 and WMR928 stations comprise of anemometer, rain gauge and thermo-hydro sensor situated as best we can. We want to raise the anemometer above its current as soon as practical above its current 2m and though the thermo-hydro is in a reasonable position shade-wise for most times of the year it does catch the sun in the late afternoon in the summer months so it would be nicer it have it in a screen (News: DIY daytime FARS installed July 19th 2008). There are also a number of extra temerature sensors, one of which is used to produce "Temp in a Jar" based solar readings.
