Data collection began during the first days of May 2006

The station is located in a temporary position until the summer. This may effect the readings's as follows. Temperatures may be slightly elevated from actual and wind speeds may be lower than actual when the wind speed is higher.

It should also be noted that, as with all weather stations the data is for local conditions; At a distance of as little as one mile from the station, one might experience quite different weather. The accuracy of the weather forecast given is also quite limited and should be treated as such.

How do you receive this web page? The weather station transmits its data by a radio link to an indoor unit. This in turn is connected to a PC running a program that organizes and transmits its data (including a weather forecast) every five minutes to one of our servers. Software on the server then uploads the information to our web site - this update occurs about every minute for the home page graphics. and about every four minutes for other data. Longer term data is refreshed less often, with yearly data being updated every six hours.
The web page refreshes itself every ninety seconds. Because of this lag in uploading the pages, you may occasionally see different times displayed on graphs; After a few moments pause the page should refresh correctly. For long term graphs this will not be a problem.
