RMK Temperatures from the new site.
Due to a need for enlarged car parking at the Emmbrook Secondary
School, the climatological station for Wokingham, established in
1976, has been forced to relocate to the Emmbrook Primary School,
a distance of appx 350 metres and at appx the same altitude. After
a short period of intercomparison, the large Stevenson screen was
moved to the new site on the 5th September, and wef 6th September
2006 air temperature and rainfall will be measured at the new site.
For the time being, grass min, the autographic rain gauge, and soil
thermometers will remain at the old site.

... behind that short statement, I guess a lot of hard work & anguish
moving the kit, organising the new site etc. Any early thoughts on
possible differences as to exposure etc?

I guess like me (I used to work at Emmbrook) you knew it was inevitable
sometime. Maybe the new site will be less enclosed and therefore better.
Sorry if I have got that wrong - a total interested amateur here. Will you
still use the computer facilites at the secondary to report in?
