Dear Sir

Loving the weather station and hoping you might be able to help. I am due to get married in June 2012 and would like to know what the weather is likely, based on historic information, to be like? We are planning to get married on the 30th June and I know that if April is a cracker than June is fair, July and August aren't great but if April is bad then June, July and August tend to be great. That said this is only based on the past 3 years since my parents have lived there! :) If you could provide me with further details then I would be very grateful as at present it is a toss up between the 16th and 30th June!

Many thanks

Kate

Hi, have you seen the new version of pywws 11.10?
It has now the possibility to calibrate the instruments through a personalized python module. Do you think there could be away now to avoid temperature spikes?
Thanks

Nice site and info. Have just helped my wife re-start weather data collection with the Maplin USB Wireless Weather Forecaster. Interested in your rain gauge collection mod. Is there some formula for a correction factor for the cross-sectional area of the collector funnel? I would have thought, as a total newbie, that if you increase the area of the collector funnel the "gauge" will collect a larger rain sample for a given rainfall thus skewing the rainfall count upwards?

Exceptional report, maintain the fantastic work. I was a fashion lecturer at Kingston University and am at the moment doing work on the web site to carry marketplace experts below one particular roof. Thanks for the helpful facts.

My station is a LaCrosse WS-2305. The anemometer is on a 20+ ft pole made out of old tent poles, a metal broom handle and an old shower curtain rail :-) It's handy in that it can easily be disassembled - I occasionally have problems with spiders clogging up the works. The transmitter/temperature/humidity unit is currently shielded by a collection of concrete blocks and bricks (it's actually in an area that is completely in shade about 95% of the day), it works quite well, but I've now removed a delapidated old shed in readiness for a proper Stevenson screen arrangement. Rain gauge is currently as supplied, but I like your funnel construction, I think I'll be going for something like that before long...

Hi Gerard

Thanks for your post :) Always interesting to see someone near by. I found your site interesting. I would like to know what model of station you use and what mods you've done.

Good luck with it all :)

Hi Gina,

Just thought I'd say hello, since I have a weather station not too many miles away. My installation is along the self-built lines too - perhaps a bit more Heath Robinson than yours, but it works!

Greetings from the other side of Taunton. Just started playing with my Maplin station, and learning a lot from your site. I'm looking forward to writing software- I've already written programs to display the data logs in new ways. Fun fun fun...
