Default Weather station network - quite impressed

Dear All,

Met up with a lifelong friend over Christmas who works for a company
called
Atomwide - they're setting up networks of weather stations which make for
quite interesting reading:

http://weather.atomwide.com/

As far as I recall - the weather stations are "reputable" ones - i.e.
Vantage Pro systems. They're aiming on networks of weather stations based
around educational regions - London is doing quite well at the moment as
you can see and they're hoping to make it more country-wide.

I'm very impressed (and am not trying to sell on behalf of his company!!)

Forgive my ignorance ,but the stations I have just looked at all seem to
be forecasting snow with the wind from the Northeast ...am I doing
something wrong ??

I noticed this as well Ron - 180º out. Seems they are the type of wind
arrows that 'go with the flow'. Forecast was for rain and snow in Orpington
but it did seem on the warm side for that. Incidentally all the examples I
looked at had been installed in schools. Nice display (apart from the wind
arrows) but isn't this very similar to Weather Display Live?
