Hi there. I haven't posted for a while - but have a question about my new WS 2500 weather station, purchased from skyview systems.
I'm really happy with the base unit, which is touch screen. The readings are all very accurate when compared to my manual weather station which I run along side the electronic version I now have. It also came with PC evaluation software and a datalogger, which is supposed to enable recordings to be stored while the computer is switched off. I've installed this, but it only seems to be picking up the wind and temperature/humidity readings. The rainfall and pressure is on zero - even though the base unit is giving a continuous readout.
There also seems to be no sunshine duration availability on the PC, even though sunshine is recorded onto the base unit. Can anyone help? I'm probably not doing something right, though if the datalogger is picking up something for 2 sensores, it should in theory pick up the others.

What an amazing day!
I recorded 34.3C here in Rosliston, South Derbyshire - the hottest day I've recorded! The official Met Office station in Coton-in-the-Elms just 1 mile down the road reached 34.5C, so I'm pleased with today's comparison.

In sunny Rosliston, South derbyshire, I managed an impressive 32.7C this afternoon - and that was after a relatively cool min of 12.2C this morning. The low humidity (24% mid pm) has caused some very large daily temperature ranges. This could well change as the humidity goes up over the next couple of days.
Currently 21.9C here and a crystal clear sky!
