The sensor unit looks the same as my Watson and they have been working, with occasional clean/spray lube, for three years. If you buy mount the rain gauge on something solid as the wind can cause false rain measurements.
I have been keeping an eye out again this year and, so far, have seen nothing. Last night looked promising but when viewed through bino's it was broken low cloud with the twilight showing through.
One of mine from last year.
So turning colder from midweek seems confirmed, just what turns up in a raw northerly. Have to say I would be concerned if we were looking at this http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/01/25/us-usa-weather-idUSKBN0KW26Z20150125
I think whatever snow falls here will be overnight tonight so be interesting to see what's down in the morning Some nice short sharp hail showers today.
Well it's gone through and nothing exceptional here. 32 mph gust and some heavy rain for about 15 min, will have to see what happens later today Will be interested to see if the low has tracked differently to forecast ? and if that alters things.
Hard to say but the low seems to have parked itself NW of Ireland ? looks a bit further south then forecast ? Temp still going up here 11.0c. Squall should be arriving 5-10 min.
