January Rainfall in Penzance:- 135.7mm 98% of 1981-2010 norm Graham Penzance ------------------------------------ It's about the only time I'm glad to be where I am. I like a bit of rain in the summer but in winter it is by far my most hated weather type. Nevertheless despite my meagre rainfall the garden is still waterlogged. We have the clay and not very big hills for it to run away so heaven knows what would happen if we got those amounts of rain! Dave, S.Essex. |

An interesting thread, especially in view of the difficulties of measuring snowfall in rain gauges.
We have a heater in one of our MO office gauges, so that when it snows the snow melts on impact and enters the gauge in the same way as rain; in the other identical MO gauge, there is no heater, and that did underead in the smow last month, by 9% overall.

... An interesting thread, especially in view of the difficulties of measuring snowfall in rain gauges. We have a heater in one of our MO office gauges, so that when it snows the snow melts on impact and enters the gauge in the same way as rain; in the other identical MO gauge, there is no heater, and that did underead in the smow last month, by 9% overall. Steve Jackson Bablake Weather Station Coventry UK www.bablakeweather.co.uk I have a Young 52202 gauge with heater, for "all year round use" according to the manufacturer. The heater was supplied as 'automatic', but I quickly discovered that it came on when the air temperature dropped below 10C. I queried this with Youngs, saying I had expected it to switch on around 0 or +1C, but they insisted that it was designed to operate as mine was doing. So i fitted a manual over-ride switch, and I only switch it on when I expect snow. The reason is that a heated funnel causes huge losses due to evaporation. In the recent snowy episode, the heated gauge recorded less than half that of snow melted into the 5 inch standard gauge. This has also been my experience in previous snow events. Anyone considering using a heated gauge should consider carefully the problem with evaporation, and no-one should rely on a heated gauge in the absence of standard check gauge on the same site. If the Met Office are using heated gauges, they should, I hope, make due allowance for these losses. -- Bernard Burton Wokingham Berkshire.
