About This Station
The station is powered by a an Instromet weather system. The data is collected every 2 seconds and the site is updated every 5 to 20 secs. This site and its data is collected using CumulusMX software CumulusMX and Weather Display Software. The station comprises an anemometer, a sunshine hours recorder, an automatic high precision rain gauge and a thermo-hydro sensor situated in optimal positions for highest accuracy possible.
The operating system used is Windows XP. The Windows XP is run as a Virtual Machine using VMware and the operating system is Ubuntu Linux. This makes it easy to change computers should a fault occur. The Windows XP is virtually totally inaccessible from the internet.
