Default Has My Oregon Scientific Weather Station Gone US ?

Hi Keith, its a battery model only and no low battery indicator
showing, meaning battery OK. After it settled down at 10.30am,
its been reading OK all day, perhaps I'll change the batteries
anyway.
I assume it wasn't some strange weather anomaly ? Never
seen this weather station do that before (had it for 8 yrs)
- strange.

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.
