The Weather Station Thread
Wowbagger:
Southend-on-Sea,Essex Weather
My weather station is now broadcasting to the world. Clicky above for what the weather's like at my house.
Dez is still in the process of tweaking the software. This is free linux-based stuff and was (apparently) written by weather geeks rather than people who know about writing stuff for linux systems. Therefore Dez is doing stuff to improve it.
At the time of the first post, there is a map being displayed on the first screen which shows weather radar broadcast from Fort Worth, Texas. I don't suppose we can find an equivalent based on Southend. It would be nice to be able to get some images of the Thames estuary though.
If you click on the links to the last 7 / 28 / 365 days the graph shows that the highest outside temperature we have recorded was 18.9°C. This was because we put the unit outside and connected it up straight after it had been at room temperature and it registered some data before it had cooled down to the -2°C or whatever it was outside on 22nd December when it was delivered.

Humid. Apparently.
Wowbagger:
Ho yus, definitely high humidity. That's why the washing doesn't get dry when you hang it on the line, Fatters. Either that or you've spilt your Stella on it.
FatBloke:
Where's yer anemometer mounted?
