What Weather station

[Grant]

Its always interesting to know what sort of kit is being used to gather weather data. If you have a personal weather station, please let us know what you have.

Also Campbell Scientific and Oregon Scientific stations.

La Crosse WS2308-CH (bronze body with cherry wood bevel inlays) to match the piano...

Have split up the components, and the anemometer is on a mast above the roof, new CAT5E SPT is going to be run this weekend, weather permitting, to eliminate the high gust spikes, the hygro field hub has 24hr forced ventilation inside an insulated upturned narrow bucket with 80mm pulmbing piping out the top and a PC power supply 12V fan running at 7.5volts contrinuously pulls air over the device giving great temp curves and no shoulders or sun strike spikes in temp. I also upgraded the reed switch in the rain bucket and made it spider proof (I think).

Its all going really well, just use the NiMH batteries and no power supply - it caused more wind spikes. Photos in a link on my website.

Davis vantage pro 2 wireless, attached to the roof to stop any ****** from stealing it.
Console in the hallway so at to check how cold it really gets in the middle of the night on way to toilet. Networked to a pc for uploading.

mmm appears that you can't say ******. What about b u g g e r then?

That would be likely to get you a yellow card advisory under the infraction system due to a breach of fourm rules, and we wouldn't want that would we

I'm not advocating swearing in anyway shape or form..
Just didn't appreciate that that word counted as a swear word. The followup was to see if it was bright enough to see also block the same word in a different format. ie how sensitive/accurate was the algorhym.

I am relieved (no pun intended)that I am not the only one who checks the temperature under such conditions.
When I lived in the King Country, I used to wonder if the water in the outside toilet bowl would turn to ice, with subsequent difficulties! LOL

I must say that I am somewhat hurt that 1-wire does not appear in the list of stations - and I am forced to be an "other"

Us 'tinkerers' must be in a minority I guess
