Hi,

I am building a community website and would like to add some real time
weather data to the site, I am on a tight budget so could someone point me
in the direction of a cheap system that would allow me to do this?

I guess, wind, temp, pressure would be the 3 important bits of data I would
want to use, but any extra would be great.

Thanks

Zan

I asked the same question yesterday in this NG titled ' Advice sought on
lazy persons weather station.'

Gareth Slee kindly replied and made a suggestion as follows ...

"I picked up an Oregon WMR-928 for £189 on Ebay. No problems with
delivery or description. I realise it ain't a Davis but for the money a
pretty good buy IMHO.
Let me know if you want a link to the Ebay seller?


By the way all you can see the data from the weather station here.

If you are on a really tight budget, you could always pull the data from
wunderground, presuming that there is a station close to your QTH.

That would cost - um - nothing!

Is that cheap enough or would you prefer to collate your own data?

Davis VP2s are great and will give you all you need - but approx £800.0.

Not cheap but good.
