Well last census shows that we have about 15500 pop and now we have three weather stations.

So with that number in close proximity I decided to do some comparisions.

I quite like this set of graphs, but boy does PHP do your head in as you try and track 3 or 4 arrays. I am a cut and paste coder but I dont care so long as it works.

Well done with the coding and the borrowing operation of the clientraw data files, nice graphs and shows the obvious commonality of location. the wind direction one is going to the variable element because of the different geographical environments we live in. Although Billah St (Central) is a street on the top of a ridge with the least blind spots/quadrants although it may do with having more elevation to get above the local rooftops, but the ridge top certainly will help. Thanks for creating the page and for sharing Arthur.

The 360 swing on Billha does seem to indicate a local effect from obsticals, had this problem even with my ridge mount but it went away when I went to 10m pole

Might have to borrow some lab instruments to look at my humidity readings

Just had time to read through the new pages you have created Aurthur. They are very good indeed. I love the way you correlate the information across the 3 stations. You should be very proud of your work.

I think the "360 swing" you talk about is actually only 25 or 30deg in the opposite direction, no more than any of your swings away from previous point. Its just the graph does not go below 360deg axis so has to show at the top.

i hope you sort out the correction offsets for your humidity - you'll get there some time... LOL

<EDIT> We figured that jcraig's Heat Pump air con is throwing cold air towards his hygro unit so he is going to place a vehicle as an obstacle in the driveway to block the discharge... temps may come back together again after that.
</EDIT>
