About this site

A small automatic weather station sits on a pole at the end of a terraced garden, about 2.5 metres up, and reports temperature, humidity, pressure, rainfall and wind to a display on the kitchen windowsill every minute. I have kept the readings since the spring of 2024 in a spreadsheet and a paper logbook, and I have kept a separate notebook of what the sky was doing at the same time.
