Ah, but it's a forecast! :o That means it's telling you what the weather will be, not what it is now. I don't recall reading anywhere how far in to the future the forecast is supposed to refer to though.

I secured mine to a couple of shelf brackets using cable ties - it's not really designed for this though so I had to be careful that the ties didn't foul the bucket mechanism inside.

Regarding the lithium batteries, for the record they seemed to make matters worse, not better. I'll need to move the display unit to the same side of the house as the station - obvious I know, but easier said than done as I need the PC connected to it too to grab the data and serve up the web site. I'm using this as an excuse (if ever I needed one) to buy a new laptop :lol: so my little mini-itx PC can then be run headless in the spare room and dedicated entirely to the weather stuff.

My 2350 has been fine overnight for the first time in a few days too. I think it's just that it's a little warmer than it was outside now. I'll wait until we get another cold snap before putting the lithium batteries in.

I found that Jessops have a sale on at the moment (£4.49 for a pack of 4 Energizer Ultimate Lithium AA) so I've ordered some anyway to see if those make any difference. I'll report back one way or the other.

Thanks. That's an interesting idea - I'll tuck it away in case none of my other options work out.

I've been having similar problems with my new WS2350 which are almost certainly down to the great distance between my station in the garden and the display in the study. I'm working around it using software at the moment (I've scripted some stuff around open2300), but wonder if I might get that little bit more transmitting power if I put lithium batteries in the weather station or something?
