The weather station at St Bede's School in Redhill is offline following
its complete destruction. The sensor pod was on a 2m pole above a wall
at the end of a flat roof. Access for servicing was via a locked door
onto the roof. The vandals climbed 2 storeys up the outside of the
building. As well as completely destroying the sensor pod (literally
ripping all the wires out and smashing all the equipment into tiny
pieces) they broke drainpipes and other fittings in the area.

We will replace, but it wil take a few weeks. The new sensor pod will go
somewhere even less accessible, probably at the end of a 3-storey
pitched roof (we know a friendly steeplejack).

This will put the sensor pod about 18m above ground level. This will
probably give reasonably accurate wind readings (saving the influence of
the roof) but are there corrections for the temperature readings? In
frosty weather it is likely to be considerably colder at ground level.
