Needles - Wind Gust and Anemometer Query
I see over last weekend the Needles on the Isle of Wight reported a
gust of 100mph - not unusual given its exposed location and I know thre have been similar reports from there in the past on such weather events. However, I would be interested to the the location of the anemometer and type of instrument. Having visited the location sometime ago I don't recall seeing an anemometer on the lighthouse or Old Battery lookout. However having checked the Met Office web site I see Wight - Needles Old Battery is listed as an AWS - anyone have images or details the instrument set up? Regards Richard Griffith Horsham AWS West Sussex |

Regards Richard Griffith Horsham AWS West Sussex Having visited the station recently i can confirm that yes the Station is located at the Needles Old Battery Lookout right above the Lighthouse. Its an Automatic Weather Station reporting wind only. I can send you some pics if you wish to send me an email. pblightukATyahooDOT.coDOTuk Thanks Paul |
