Weather Station

[Lefty]

Anyone got one?

I seem to recall somebody posting a temp chart up on PH a while ago which recorded temperatures over a certain period of time. Presumably it had a USB interface or a memory card and the unit perhaps took a reading every hour or so and the data could be exported to Excel. I'd like something with this functionality, also with a remote temperature sensor so that I can place it away from the house for a more accurate reading of ambient temp.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,
Lefty

fk me, so when I typed in "weather station" to the PH search it would have been helpful if that topic came up.

Thanks!

I've got one. Hang on, I'm in the other thread too.

Mine logs every 15 mins into a MySQL database and I extract the results using a PHP web page.

ATTENTION: old thread resurrection!

I got a ClimeMET CM2000 for my birthday - endless hours of geek potential with the data .

Some interesting data so far:

Maximum outside temp so far = 18.9C at 14:30 on 17th March. Very warm for that time of the year.

Maximum diurnal temperature variation = 19.0C (-0.1 to 18.9C) on 17th March.

Maximum wind speed = 41.2 mph (associated with max gust of 50.1 mph) last night

Max 24hr rainfall = 54.9 mm (26th - 27th March)

Max hourly rainfall = 23.7 mm (0400-0500, 27th March)

Pretty stormy last night!

The record is nearly 26C in 1968. Keep trying.

Quite possibly. But 19C is warm for mid-March. Especially up here in the Highlands.
