Weather Station.

Post by MingtheMerciless »

My old Davis Instruments Vantage Pro finally died last year after 20 years of service, I was debating about replacing it as they are not cheap but Mrs M said she would make a contribution (birthday sorted) so a Vantage Pro 2 with Solar and UV sensors and fan assisted cooling temperature sensor arrived. I managed to install the weather station today, the anemometer goes up tomorrow, wind allowing.

Things have come on a bit since my old weather station with an easy web access to the data.

If it makes you feel better, we don't even have on that the RNLI. We use the link from the NCI!

I have a pebble suspended on string.

If it's white - snow
If it's wet - rain
If it's off vertical - wind
If it moves a lot - blustery wind (or earthquake)

Nice upgrade! That web access is a huge step up. 20 years of use is impressive, though, it was time.
