Weather Site Update

Sadly, the Weather pages here have been neglected for quite a while, mainly due to two separate issues :

• The weather station software than I was using to upload pages to the website (Virtual Weather Station) is no longer maintained and can not use secure FTP which is required by my website host so, whilst my local website is mostly OK, the pages here have been frozen since October 2017 when my ISP stopped supporting basic (non-secure) FTP.

• Equipment failures and my inability to access the external weather sensors for maintenance.

However, I am now in the process of getting the sensors moved and replacing failed components, it is likely that, going forward, the site will concentrate on Davis Vantage Pro hardware and the Oregon Weather pages will disappear. I am also taking the opportunity to change the weather software that I am using and will likely migrate the live pages to use CumulusMX.

So, please bear with me while I refresh the site - I hope to have things working satisfactorily again over the next few weeks. 

In the meantime, here's the data displayed "out of the box" on CumulusMX

Weather data on this site is derived from :-

 

			(Davis Web Site)
WMR928NX
			(Oregon Web Site)

 The Oregon Scientific station was the first station installed and still provides a backup to the Davis station.

The Davis station is much higher quality (meaning much more expensive !) than the Oregon Scientific station and provides additional readings such as Solar Radiation and UV Index.
