I've been looking at the La Crosse WS2300 as can be found at
http://www.ukweathershop.co.uk/acatalog/lctws_sub.html

I only have a cheap Oregon Scientific Wireless temperature and humidity
sensor at the moment so am looking for like a medium quality weather
station
with most features (wind, rainfall). I don't know much about all the
brands
available e.t.c. or things but does anyone have any experience with La
Crosse (and specifically this model) and is it suitable for someone like
me
who's never had a proper weather station before

Cheers

Liam



Its very poor for recording wind speed. Its sample rate is 30 seconds,
meaning it misses gusts (3 second winds). The cheapest Davis gear (around
£150/£200 Weather wizard) has a far more accurate anemometer (it samples at
3 seconds). I have the Davis Monitor 2 which is outstanding and is an
upgrade to the wizard in that it also records Rain/humidity/pressure. It did
cost about £350 though. Have a look at www.ukweathershop.com and
