This man has bought a Davis Vantage Pro and is using "Weather Underground" software, as are many other people in the UK, yet this appears to qualify him for a piece in the Daily Mail, and five minutes on Radio 5's evening news programme (at about 6.50 if anyone can be bothered to Listen Again). Still, if it encourages more people to buy home weather stations, it can't be a bad thing... Having the raingauge above roof level is somewhat non-standard, to say the least. I compare my 2 gauges each day, the Davis being about head height and the standard gauge buried in the ground. The difference is amazing: so far this year the difference is just over 100mm.
