Default Has My Oregon Scientific Weather Station Gone US ?

Not sure I can help much as I have a WMII, but is it plugged into the
mains? And do you have it plugged in via a surge protection
multi-socket exrension lead? I had similar 'spurious' readings on my
minima (-50°c), although it was normally caused by a surge from some
household electrical appliance being switched on or power off. The
Surge protector has reduced this to about once or twice a year.

Just a thought.
