Why not an AWS on St Kilda. It used to be a SYNOP station. -- Norman Lynagh Tideswell, Derbyshire 303m a.s.l. http://peakdistrictweather.org Twitter: @TideswellWeathr |

It's down to cost and requirement. MMS are expensive and need to be serviced/repaired so accessibility is also a factor. Cheap, off the shelf systems use non-standard sensors and are, thus, unacceptable.

Graham Scilly - virtually unbroken sunshine today, and virtually calm. Basically no sea breeze on scilly, the islands are too small, the largest is 2 by 3 miles. I was the westernmost person in England at around noon today. |
