forecast from Sky/BBC here was occasional showers

on 3 ocasions we have sustained 1-2 hour spells of torrential rain during last 12 hours - showers ? umm

no update to main weather outlook since Sunday - any reason there is plenty happening around here.

where's the wellies and maybe sandbags ?

thanks very much for your replies

<_<

what Paul and OON have stated is sufficient for both temp and wind readings. The Met O quote 33 feet above unobstructed ground or something like that. Quite impossible for most of us in small back gardens.

good luck and enjoy it when its set up.

[Setting up equipment]

I am also looking into getting a WMR 928 but have seen a WMR 918 on Ebay - is that any good ?

Also the instructions for the weather stations never mention poles or fixings etc.

My question is how easy/tricky is it to install the equipment. I have a smallish garden

and am unable to climb ladders. What sort of clearance does the equipment need and what sort of height is best.

Also pole mounted or bracketed to wall (like TV aerial) ?

Where does one buy poles etc ? or have I just answered that!

thanks in anticipation
