I bet you find the instructions are in Engrish....

[chilly milly]

I am sure you will have more luck than me Floatylight. I just spent half the morning complaining that my new iPod nano didn't work, and then realised that I needed to peel the sticky pretend screen off of the front of it.

I have to download the pc disk that came with it today and read the manual.

Its seems a bit complexed to me tbh:/

Have a great day today xx

Hi Floatylight,

I bought one from Maplins before Xmas (says Gadget wireless weather forecast) however I think the model goes under many names. I wanted it to work alongside my Davis which is not connected to the computer and I must say I am very pleased with it and it seems to work just as well as the expensive ones.

I found the software that came with it did to not want to load so I went for the free Cumulus software which seems to have good ratings on a number of forums, it can be found on the following web site

My weather station is now sending data up to the web

Hyped!

[Ruthie]

Just reading on twitter the fire brigade are pumping out a sub station near reading, as they say its under 2ft of water and they need to prevent it rising further.

Peter Gibbs mentioned the land slide warning in his late forecast last night, I thought at the time how unusual to hear that in a forecast.

Hope to god everyone stays safe down sw eng.

Morning and A Happy Safe Boxing day to all... well at least it isnt raining! GF was very pleased as able to ride Horse(s) this morning before the next rain band reaches us (later than predicted!) And now wants to go to the shops argh....

Weather update

Its tipping it down

Again :-(

[Ruthie]

Hammering down! Got really gusty for a moment there. Glad didn't leave the house today guys n gals.... Sofa is king...

[ITSY]

heavy rain after heavy rain for us (and indeed everyone) this week with bands coming today, tomorrow, friday, sat/sun and then Monday...back to square 1 then by early next week

Indeed, current projections show that even us in the east could see 30mms out of next Monday's rainband and that comes on top of what would already be 20mms between now and then, at the very least. worrysome times

After posting about my new weather station I have just noticed the wind speed has not been recording for a while, have been out and moved the cups around and it appears to jam after a few seconds . It's too far up for anything today and i can only think something inside has worked loose, I notice Maplins have spare ones although out of stock at the moment which may have to be the way if it's a sealed unit.

Anyway raining again here.

Happy boxing day folks!

I started at Warren Hill with a bouncy Cocker Spaniel?

[Eddy]

A bouncy cocker spaniel,I saw you in the distance.I was with a german shepherd and a poodle cross. I walked up to Butts Brow and around ,it is a good place to see the rain coming over the downs!

[chmape]

close! i was between the lighthouse and BIRLING gap area, we cut it short as it started to rain but the wind was a bit to strong!

Using technology such as radar, webcams and ground based sensors combined with the expert opinion of experienced forecasters; the Met Office is able to declare whether or not (YES or NO) snow fell at the following locations on Christmas Day 2012:

[chilly milly]

Feels like a version of Wuthering Heights. Which of you is Heathcliffe? :D

[Summer of 76]

If we all buy these and place them against a garage wall I'm sure in six weeks time we will be sitting here so glad that we did when they have sold out, if it doesn't snow we can all practice water skiing down the local river which now covers a mile wide
