I have an automatic weather station located at 115m asl just to the north of the town of Weymouth on the UK south coast, monitoring local temperature, humidity and pressure.
The weather station
The weather station is an Ecowitt GW1100 + WH32 temperature and humidity sensor, connected to a Raspberry Pi running the Weewx weather station server. It is situated at 115 metres above sea level in a south-facing garden, just over two miles away from and within clear sight of the English Channel.
You can view the latest data from the weather station (updated on an hourly basis).
Observations
You can view some very old observations from a previous implementation of an automatic weather station at the same location:
Useful links
Observations
- Weather Obs – mapped global weather observations, sourced from METAR and SYNOP observations, ship and buoy observations, and the citizen weather observer programme.
- Sea water temperatures – hosted by German weather website wetter3.de
- Gaisma – sunrise, sunset, dawn and dusk times around the world
Charts
- Wetterzentrale – Top Karten – “Top Charts” is one of the biggest and best sites for free charts, if a little clunky. It’s all in German but is reasonably easy to make sense of.
- Wetter3 – another very good German weather website
- The Weather Outlook – an excellent UK weather website
- Meteociel.fr – a useful French weather website including model charts and observations
- WXMAP – another good chart site, hosted by the US Navy Oceanography portal.
- Jet Stream forecasts – hosted by The Weather Outlook.
- Passage Weather – sailing forecasts, with useful SWH (significant wave height) charts
