Thanks to the folks who helped over what station to get.


I think this is the same one that Maplins are selling for £70, I found
some technical data on it and it states wind sampling every 42
seconds, is that correct? Seems a bit slow to me, especially during
rough or squally weather.


Yes, it came from Maplins and cost £70. Since there is no way I can
place it far enough away from buildings and so on to get accurate wind
readings (unless it's in the middle of the field at the end of the
road!) that's quite often enough for me. After all, the website for it
only updates every 15 minutes at present!

BTW where did you find the data? There seems to be a remarkable lack of
it in the leaflet that came with it!
