Is the w8681 weather station good? I am only aloud to spend like £80 and i want a good one that gives you, humidity, temperature data to the nearest 0.1c, dewpoint, wind speeds and directions, Rain gathered that day and a thing where all your weather goes on the computer... btw what is temperature resolution?

God it'll be dark by 6.30 then , that'll be weird!

Edit thats totally different now, was dark at 9pm last night!

Sunset Is 8.42pm here. Sunrise is 6.15am here.. I wish they were later i am really getting sick of these long nights. It usually gets pitch dark around 23:23! Though that shortens in the winter very quickly

Where did you get that?

We've been having that for weeks here... its not unusual now. Though it is becoming more autumnal now so we are having cooler maxes apparently all week we are going to be having 12c maxes and in the highlands it will be 8 and 9c, is this normal?

Aw well at least if it does come it'll be record again, though it says it'll rise to 5 850pha, will that really happen?? Or has that just been happening in fi?

Does it come out too 120 hours now?

everything seems to be coming early this year it won't be long until -5 is over me

oh goody but i doubt it

rubbish old day, temp got up to 15c most of time but cloud cleared away to leave glourious sunshine and 17c, luckily tonight it'll drop and we will get 3/4c! Grass frost? Then 24c tomorrow yay!?!

Aye it must be these irish ones on this weather forum were saying that autumn had started and i was like............ dosen't autumn not start near the end of september! Not friggen august, (mind you, you'd think it was setptember now at 13/14c maxes i wonder what october will be like!!!!

Stop treating me and others like we are dumb! I do know that and if you look to the side its far more than that as you can see its near up the fences, and that area is like 600foot the main road is 950 foot and the road i was on was 1200 foot, so don't tell me whats their and i don't live in bloody ireland!

Erm we've been having that here for 2 weeks now and no its not winter temps that quite mild for winter!

Erm no i live in northern ireland they are a different country with a totally different climate when it comes to snow. Read this it says 4 foot drifts at the road which is lower than the road at my hill : http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8596098.stm , plus my station had 50mm of rain which that day and 20 the night before which equals 70mm which is probably going to be 100 cm up on hills with all the stuff added on whice is at least 3 foot aswell as the 2 foot of snow below that from the snow before that which lay all winter.

Oh dear god. I think i know how much snow was on the hills thank you. There was most definately at least 3 foot of level snow look at this pic :http://www.flickr.com/photos/sallea/4478945038/ --- that is the height of it on the main road, here is a flat one, http://www.flickr.com/photos/kellswood/4490231442/ you see snow at the top of the fences nearly!

Most certainly is only 12c here now, days are definately getting colder, start of month maxes were 16c now they are like 14c.

What sort of temps would that bring? We haven't had that for well over a month!

Oh yes i heard about the extreme temps apparently rising from -20c to 0c in one night! Ohh dear, bit nuts, i would love that cold but no colder after -40c it starts to get a bit bad!

I doubt we'll have that if we have been having 14c maxes all august (here anyway.)

Not when its -4c all winter and then it warms up when it snows! We got sleet all day but it turned to blowing snow and it started to lay but it stopped. But the hills above got at least 4 foot of level snow.

Yes we had -4c maxes most of the time but anytime a front came the temp rose to about 2c and the snow never lay.

Oooo your from winnipeg, my uncle told me stories about that place apparently they get -50c their and the snow is real bad, i hated it when i was their so flat and depressing could see for hundreds of miles.

The one in april, snow flying past me at 70mph and temps of -3c made it feel freezing!?! The snow eventually got upto about 4 foot of level snow at the top of the hill and very high drifts mostly around 8 foot but some very high drifts maybe 15 foot?? It lasted to may, i actually remember seeing snow lying in the middle of april with 21c and wall to wall sunshine, but at night it got down to about -2c (one time -7c, but max that day was 14c.)!

Ok october then but since this is early maybe earlier.
