  1. I've had many weather stations before and have never found the temperature sensor to be too accurate as most require it to be in direct sunlight with a 'mini'  screen around it.

    I'm thinking of getting a new one, don't want to pay anymore than £150 but also want a UV sensor and for it to connect to the wifi. 

    Anyone have any idea on what is the best one to get and if possible the cheapest place to get it from! 

    I will be grateful for any advice! 

    Thanks!

    I think me and most other people would become hypothermic if we stayed overnight at your house lol.

    Normally in winter i try to keep bedroom bout 11 to 12c but even then still have the 2 fans on,can't stand a bedroom much over 18c........polar bear no,Eskimo may be

    I love a cold bedroom, don't get me wrong.

    I have an aircon that is set to 18oC all summer long but 11/12oC.

    Nope. That's way too cold! 

    Although I would still take 11/12oC over a 30oC bedroom any day! Cosy under a thick duvet should be the only way to sleep

  3. Was hot and mostly sunny all day with just a few wispy high clouds here and there.

    Top temp I measured here in Hertfordshire was 31.2oC.

    The "low" last night ( if you can call it that) was 19.8oC! Possibly the highest night temp I have recorded going back about 10 years! 

    Currently still very warm and clear at 22.1oC.

    Will be interesting to see what I record tomorrow   

  4. Unimpressed really, what looked like a record breaking spell of extreme heat and humidity now seems to be moving further away with each day and I'm now beginning to become convinced that we may not even see any exceptionally high temperatures? The GFS AND ECM runs this morning haven't given me much to be excited about. 

    Do we think they will ramp up again? 

    Would love it to atleast break the June record one of the days, most likely next Saturday judging by recent forecasts.

  5. I wouldn't know where to find the statistics but it's been a long time since we've had even a few hours of rain consecutively.

    We've had the odd day where weve had a few showers and just now weve had an absolute deluge but will do very little for the grass that's already turning yellow as it would have all ran off. 

    I'm not complaining.

    It is what it is and the weather will do what it wants. I doubt we are anywhere near a water ban and even if it is getting that way it wont be long till the Atlantic gets going again. 

    Making the most of the drier periods while weve still got them and ensuring what is out for birds and wildlife in the meantime is a must.

    Temperatures forecast to hit the mid to high 20's by next weekend wont help that situation but it will definitely be helping my tan

    I am surprised that considering it is still so early in the season and a month away from the equinox, that we have hit a UV of 9 

    Just! 

    I really think weather organisations should research into giving a better UV index forecast.

    Met office today said a UV of 6 and in a couple of places 7, 

    Accuweather only gave a UV of 6 in these areas and the BBC was by far the worst with just their moderate UV forecast.

    I'm sure many people have been caught out in the sun today as it wasn't too hot and the UV levels seen were on par with Cyprus!

  7. Very mild from early morning 

    Even this evening we were out in just a light jacket in the Gazebo. Crazy to think it's almost mid november! 

    High of 15.4oC despite only an hour or so of sun (of that) around 2pm

    We had a low last night of 7oC.

    Spits and spots of rain midday and light rain now coming over at time of writting (9:45pm) here in St.Albans

  8. Just something I've noticed.

    Friday night into Saturday morning london is not forecast to drop below 19oC and where I am here in Hertfordshire its not meant to be beliw 18oC! 

    I researched the record highest overnight minima and it's 19.4oC for October! 

    Is it a record worth watching out for?!
