Hi. I live on the high outskirts of a village. The best exposure I can
get is by mounting the instrument(s) on the TV mast approx 24ft above
ground level.
I would like to use a laptop downstairs and would also need measurements
of temperature, sunshine, humidity/wet bulb to get dew point, pressure
(sea level i.e. QNH/QFF.), and of course wind speed and direction.
I have cared for inspected climate sites over the years, so am well
aware of the exposure shortcomings. Even so I think I can derive
meaningful results.
Also fairly simple, but comprehensive, software.
Can anyone help with a URL preferably in UK?
Many thanks
Cheers
Paul.

Hi Paul,

Go no further than John Dann's excellent site at www.weatherstations.co.uk .

I have also used www.metcheck.co.uk in the past!
No not THE Metcheck, the one that was around when Andrew Bond was in nappies :-)

PS watch out, weather observing and recording is highly addictive, also you'll
need an anorak :-)
My site is at

want to pop in.

Will, Many thanks. I will let you know how I get on. I need to write
to you anyway on a number of topics as I am struggling to keep myself
updated.
I do realise the Ultimate Sin of weather observing, and how one may be
easily drawn into the abyss never to see mortal man again - or (of more
importance) ever again to taste the 4.3% fluid of ambrosia.
I am sure the ancient Greeks would have put it better....
Cheers
Paul

Didn't the great Thomas Barker, who kept a record for something like 60
years back in the 18th century, live in Rutland? So you have a lot to
live up to.

Indeed John; his observations have been published and I have a copy. I
cannot hope to achieve his eloquence. I may be able to match his
enthusiasm though. Unfortunately my serfs and labourers are an
unreliable and rebellious lot, hence my need for humble electronics.
Should they be struck by lightning I shall make a note in my diary also.
Who knows where these readings may be analysed in many hundreds of years
time.

Cheers.
