Weather station network - quite impressed
 
Dear All,

Met up with a lifelong friend over Christmas who works for a company called
Atomwide - they're setting up networks of weather stations which make for
quite interesting reading:

http://weather.atomwide.com/

As far as I recall - the weather stations are "reputable" ones - i.e.
Vantage Pro systems. They're aiming on networks of weather stations based
around educational regions - London is doing quite well at the moment as
you can see and they're hoping to make it more country-wide.

I'm very impressed (and am not trying to sell on behalf of his company!!)

Ah sorry - I'd missed this. Yes costs seem quite steep - I wonder how much
the standard "kit" costs. I think it's aimed at education rather than the
personal user. My worry, as I said to my friend, was QAing the sensors and
general upkeep - but apparently results are monitored for irregularities.

I noticed this as well Ron - 180º out. Seems they are the type of wind
arrows that 'go with the flow'. Forecast was for rain and snow in Orpington
but it did seem on the warm side for that. Incidentally all the examples I
looked at had been installed in schools. Nice display (apart from the wind
arrows) but isn't this very similar to Weather Display Live?
