OREGON SCIENTIFIC WMR928

The weather data that appears on this website is collected via an Oregon Scientific WMR928 wireless weather station. The temperature/humidity sensor is housed in a home made 'Stevenson' Screen, therefore readings are reasonably representative of actual temperature. I have my concerns as to the accuracy of the humidity readings, particularly at night. I relocated back to Park Farm in November 2009, and am still to re-site my anemometer above the roof-line so as to give accurate strength and direction data. I really hope to re-site temporarily by the middle of May 2010 until I have ascertained the best position for it...and when I can get up on the roof!!!!

The observations from October 2005 to August 2007 were from Stanground, SE Peterborough. Observations from September 2007 to January 2009 were from Bretton, West Peterborough and from December 2009 to present, I am now back in Park Farm, SE Peterborough. Although data has been recorded from different locations, they are in close enough proximity to each other that I have decided to continue the observed data as if from the same site. Although this is not ideal, the climate is very similar and any variation would be very negligible. Historical reports will be clear as to location(s) where the data was recorded.

The software used to collate all the data is Weather Display (WD). The software allows me to present the data using pre-determined formats or custom designs as I have done for this website. The Weather Display Live (WDL) page is powered by software developed by Julian Best and uses data fed by WD.The excellent Weather Display software was developed by Brian Hamilton and Brian continues to support the software via dedicated forum.
