Welcome to Phil Holmes's weather page. The station was set up on February the 18th, 2004. The weather information is now taken from a Davis Instruments Vantage Pro2 FARS, following a problem with my old Oregon Scientific WMR928N. The WMR928 lasted until 10 Jan 2012 when the temperature gauge was broken in a storm. The Vantage Pro has a combined anemometer/wind direction indicator, (mounted on a 10 foot aluminium pole about 4 foot over the roofline), a combined temperature/humidity sensor and rain gauge, all powered by battery-backed solar power. The information is sent to a base station in my study using radio at 433 MHz. The weather base station is connected to an IBM Thinkpad T22 laptop (bought secondhand from eBay) which is permanently on and runs Windows XP Pro. This is my 4th weather PC, the others succumbing to various failures in life. The PC uses "Weather Display" software version 10.37R to upload the web pages. This page is custom written using the software's "custom tags" capability.

* Measurable rain on my system is 0.2 mm - so if it very gently drizzles, I count it as a rain free day.
