Hey welcome aboard!
The "MAD" thread is the Model Output Discussion thread, but is often labelled the MAD thread due to the sometimes rather hyperbolic and over-enthusiastic discussion that take place, especially in summer when hot weather seems possible (and in winter when cold weather seems possible).
Thanks Stewart, I thought it might be! I've just about given up reading it as it seems the model outputs are interpreted to suit the interpreters personal preferences in many cases. One individual who shall remain nameless seems able to find heat in the outlook no matter what! I've always disliked heat, right back to childhood. Give me a brisk north-westerly, a few showers and 21 degrees C maximum and I'm happy.

Hi, new to these forums (fora?) but most definitely a heat hater! I have to ask - what's the "MAD" thread?

I've recently installed a National Geographic 7-in-1 weather station (made by Bresser, I believe). Its been working fine and I calibrated the baro sensor from nearby professional stations. I did this by applying an offset to the relative pressure value, which is the pressure corrected to mean sea level I think?
This morning, around 0830, the indicated pressure suddenly jumped up by 7 hPa! I also noticed that the wind speed units had changed from mph to m/s and light intensity units from W/m2 to kLux.
I've no prior experience with this station, having used Davis equipment previously. Anyone know if this is generally reliable? I've applied a new offset to bring the indicated pressure back to the correct value and reset the wind speed and light intensity units but this is somewhat disconcerting!

I've looked at the model output discussion thread a lot but given up now as it seems it's essentially a bunch of people trying to find signs that a hot plume is coming and interpreting the model outputs to suit their own bias. My bias is for nice, cool bright days. If it never goes above 21 degrees C I'm happy!
