I finally installed a La Crosse 2300 rigged up a week or so ago. Today was
the first measured rainfall so I thought I'd post some values for
comparison..

For 21st Sept

Min temp = 10.5
Max temp = 25.5

For 22nd Sept

Rainfall = 8.2mm
Max temp = 22.1 (at 12:00)
Max wind = 12mph

I know there a a few posters here from Guildford area, anyone care to
compare values for today to check out my readings. I haven't got the
perfect position for any of the sensors - usual case of compromise, so I'd
welcome a comparison from more established stations.

Many thanks

Terry

12mph seems very low. I don't measure wind myself, but a station in
Aldershot measured 28mph and in a heavy shower I reckon it was easily 35mph
here in Fleet.

Max wind = 12mph

I'm at Warlingham, Surrey, 556 ft AMSL. I'd say the rainfall looks about
right, the max temp a bit high (mine was 19.5°C at about 1400 Z) but could be
OK, but the wind definitely looks wrong. Until the cold front passed the wind
here was SSW'ly force 4, gusts to force 5 at least, which means a mean speed of
about 15 mph and maximum of at least 25 mph.

Thanks guys.

Sounds right, the thermometer maybe a little too close to the house, and not
over grass, so might read a little high. Regarding wind the La Cross
(cabled rather than wireless) logs maximum speed at quite big intervals (8
secs I think) and can easily miss gusts. Plus its not 10m above ground-level
or clear of obstructions (i.e the house is to the SSW).

Still its excellent fun.
