Weather Station Required - Recommendations?
Hi
We need to buy a new weather station as the one we have now isn't
working very well and we're finding it hard to get local support.
Currently we have a Davis Weather Monitor II but it's reading are all
wrong, unreliable and it's old so it's time to change. The reader is
up on the roof, and we have a receiver in a room downstairs which then
links to a computer to store the data (sorry if my terminology is
wrong - I don't know much about weather stations). As we are not
really up with weather stations, we are hoping that someone might be
able to make a few suggestions as to which will meet our needs.
We're located in Brisbane, Australia, so we will need local support
should anything go wrong (onsite support would be good). The items we
need to be able to monitor include:
- Wind direction
- Wind speed
- Outside temperature
- Outside humidity
- Barometer
- Daily rainfall
We need this to be updated at least every five minutes and we need it
to be logged so that we can get reports from certain past dates. I've
read about wireless models - is that where the reader and receiver
talk to each other without cables (is it that obvious?). This would
be good but are they reliable? Any thought and suggestions will be
greatly received.
Cheers!
Bobbie.
