Conditions this morning in Orkney. I measured about 4 inches but that's very inaccurate in the wind, there's also a 3 foot drift up against the fence and I need a shovel to get the car out so I'm staying at home.

this is Orkney with an inch or two at a guess, I've not measured it.

I can only be jealous of the snow some of you are getting, keep the pictures coming please. I'm getting tempted to move south for the snow

All these weather warnings it would be my fantasy forecast if only they were accurate we got a covering of snow for a day maybe, some wind and hail, not even been that cold. The met office warning might as well be for downpours of unicorns and fairies it would be almost as accurate

I believe fine offset makes them and ecowitt is the outlet for them if you buy direct. they get rebranded a lot, have a google and you'll find lots of similar stuff. ECOWITT Welcome to Ecowitt!

I dont know if its legal or not but im running 915 equipment with no issue and no one has yet complained or told me to turn it off. The only other stuff I've found that uses 915 is some wireless smoke alarms and doorbells.

thanks it might be an email to Lucy then, 2 wind readings from different positions would be a useful feature to be added. we can run multiple soil moisture sensors so it should be possible to do.

does anybody know if its possible to add a second wind sensor array to the hp2551 console. I was wondering if the ultrasonic wind package would work alongside the existing outdoor sensor array giving two sets of wind speed readings on the console, i hope that make sense, thanks.

it could be water or dirt in there creating a short circuit and draining the batteries. give it a good clean out and bring it inside to dry out for a few days if possible and see what happens then. my other thought, is there anyway to power the outside unit with a power supply to see if it keeps working then.

There is also this https://www.weatherstations.co.uk/wifi-logger.htm which makes your vue accessible from your wifi network and will let you upload to wunderground etc

I was sat here in lockdown baking hot and started to wonder, has there been any studies of solar cycles minimum and maximum and temperature records. let me try and explain, is it a thing that every time we are in a solar minimum we get hot summers and every solar maximum cooler ones, I know it sounds backwards, but. take 1976 hot summer- solar minimum. any thoughts or useful links welcome. I then noticed that the cycle trend is decreasing, so fewer cooler summers? pushing up the average temperature I assume if I'm correct

Ecowitts website says it can "When paired with a WeatherStation Console (HP2551/HP3500/HP3501): ·View lightning data in real-time on the Display ·Get alerted to lightning strikes with the flashing lightning icon"

if you download the manual from ecowitts website that suggests it can be done, but maybe not individual records, but i've never tried it. "While in History Record Mode, press key to popup the Message Box: “Clear the history record?” Press “Yes” to clear all history records saved on"

Three years ago today 24 april. our weather can do anything at this time of year

you could just add an led or a small buzzer to the output wire so it's easy to tell when it's on or even off when it should be on.
