Two from me. Look like they belong to a summer t-storm.

Forgot to add that this place: http://www.weather-watch.com/smf/index.php?theme=3&Itemid=40 has load of information on weather stations. There very helpful as well should you have any questions.

Hi Pab, I would also recommend the WMR928NX. This you can get for about £330 or you can get the american version, the WMR968, from ebay. I've done this and it cost me £150 but you don't have any warranty, so if something goes wrong you will have to buy a new part(s). The best station you can get is the Davis VP2 but they are very expensive. You won't able to get a weather station with an intergrated lightning detector but what you can do is either buy a boltek from here: http://www.meteorologica.co.uk/product.asp...teria=&PT_ID=82 or get a one wire lightning detector from here: http://www.hobby-boards.com/catalog/produc...&products_id=65 The one wire lightning detector is a more diy job as you have to make a cover for the detector and then wire it up. From what I've read it can also be a bit sensitive, ie it can pick up interferance from things being switched on and off if it is earthed to the house electrics. It is cheap though and does do the job. The boltek is a more out of the box detector. Hope that helps. PS: Could one of the mods move this to the misc weather as it will probably get more of a response there. Thanks.

I've got another question regarding the Photo Comp which was formerly known as the Quarterly photo comp. Didn't see the point in starting another thread. Was there voting for this? Its not in the competition section anymore but there are references to it when searched on google. Obviously it can wait till after the Storms comp is finished. Sorry if I'm being a pain, just curious.

I would move the sensor closer. I found that when I had my WS3600, the 100m transmission claim was rather optimistic and I had many problems. Thats not to say La Crosse aren't good its just that I had problems with it for my location.

Hmm, I've not had any experience with this station so this is only a guess. Could it mean its going to be partly cloudy? But then you would expect the sun to be showing as well. Try asking here: http://www.weather-watch.com/smf/index.php?theme=3&Itemid=40 They are very helpful and will try their best to answer your question.
