I am new to this forum and would be interested in views of other members.
I live in Monmouthshire, South Wales and have been really interested in recording the weather accurately for some time.
I had a Davis Vantage Vue which went back to the suppliers so many times that in the end I gave up! An expensive experiment... I now use a wi-fi data logger in a home-made Stevenson Screen (made from plastic air vents).
I'm pretty sure that the max temperatures are not really accurate -- quite a few days I record maximums several degrees C higher than the BBC reports. But in other respects the system works pretty well.
I can't really record wind data from my site since my house is in a bit of a dip in the land. That is why the integrated sensor set-ups are of little use to me. And rainfall data doesn't particularly bother me.
My data logger is an Omega wifi sensor which connects to my home wi-fi about 20m away and I get a free link to an online site called wifisensorcloud.com
It is not perfect by any means.
Comments from weather watchers would be most welcome. (Pictures enclosed)
