Normally this is closed for a couple of hours near to high water because, with a southerly wind, wives are likely to thow stones and bolders onto the road.
Ooops, slight error on the keyboard there!! They don't do that up here, honest, it's the WAVES!!

It's a bit windy here this morning - mean speeds of 44mph, gusting 52mph and the Police have closed the Braigh, a causeway which connects where Cookie and I live to the main island. Normally this is closed for a couple of hours near to high water because, with a southerly wind, wives are likely to thow stones and bolders onto the road.

possible 70 mph! http://www.gm7pbb.co.uk/
It only got upto 55 mph last night with me, which matches the airport's 56 mph.
Oh, and I've got my other (faster updating) anemometer and the lightning detector working again.

I know you're looking to build it yourself but there is already a program out there that will do this taking data from other sources (customised to your location), as well as your own and modeling it all into a forecast for your local area.
Have a look at WXsim: http://www.wxsim.com/

I am going to be frank around why I find the AGW deniers frustrating – quite apart from the fact that the weight of evidence is now against them,
And what 'evidence' would this be then?
I'm not talking about any of the politically funded reports, speculation, theory or just plain spin. I'm talking hard evidence that humans alone are responsible for the warming trend of the Earth and that there are no other factors what so ever that could possibly be contributing to this effect.

There's downloadable Mac version of Weather Display with a 30 day trail on it, after that you have to buy it but the initial download is the ful program.
http://www.weather-display.com/files.php - forth one down the list.

In the same way that you can only dream of temperatures of 23ºC+
You got that right!!

You should come up here, we laugh at 30 mph!!
But there again, I used to live in Largs so I know what you mean. Enjoy.

This coming Friday and Sunday could be a tad windy in the North of the country (Scotland) as we're squeezed between a High to the South and a deep Low to the North, same thing happens again on Sunday but the isobars on the GFS are further apart so maybe not quite so bad:

Also the pressure always seems to be high, and the weather forecast outside wrong...Like now it's tipping it down but it shows sunny?
Are you looking at the actual or relitive pressure?
There is a setting in the WS2300 that allows you to set the station to report the relitive sea level pressure that most other stations report. If yours is set to report the actual pressure at your location and height above sea level then will tend to be different.
As for the forecast, the WS2300 consol alters the forecast icons depending on what the barometric pressure is doing at the time. If the pressure is rising then you'll see the Sun icon, if it's falling you see rain and so on.

It's hard to check really.
I tend to measure mine against the nearest METAR station (Stornoway Airport in my case, which is only 6 miles away) as these are calibrated and should be quite accurate.
Temperature, Baro & Dew Point are done for me on CWOP, which comes in handy for checking your installation and whether your repositioning of sensors has had an effect or not.
