  1. Rather windy!

    Currently a steady Force 6 with gusts up to 44kts. Worst of the winds forecast for later this evening with Storm 10/Violent Storm 11 possible, gusts up to 60-70mph perhaps.

    Current conditions @ 1604 BST

    Temp: 12.4C

    Wind Chill: 9.2C

    Dew: 10.1C

    Humidity: 86%

  2. Well what I did find was the tipper was 'sticky' i.e. it sometimes stuck in the tipped position. I suspect some grit or some such. During the winter we get through a fair bit of grit on the roads up here and that gets ground down to a very fine sand and gets into everything so a good clean and a wee spot of 3-in-1 oil has hopefully done the trick.

  3. I have a rpoblem with the rain gauge on my Vantage Vue. It seems to have a problem recording rain unless its bucketing down! In lighter conditions it doesn't seem to record any rainfall. I have checked to make sure there is no debris in the collector and the tipping mechanism works fine. I've also ensured that the ISS (Integrated Sensor Suite) is level. Still having the problem. Anybody else had this and any other suggestions as to what it could be/what i could try?

  4. Mainly overcast with just the odd sunny spell. Light showers of rain and quite chilly in the Northerly breeze.

    Well excyuuuuse me. I can speak for myself you know lol :lol:

    Of course that was a one-off. The average temp for this time of year is 12.2C

    Generally the best we do during the summer is about 15-16C and ev en then there is still wind chill which knocks 1-2 degs off the "real feel."
