Temperature charting commenced on 5th May 2001; rainfall charting commenced on 18th August 2002; charting of additional data commenced on 1st January 2010.
The weather station sensors are located in an exposed position above the roof of my garage (right). Data from the in-house base unit are normally noted every morning, charted (using Microsoft Excel spreadsheet), and then uploaded onto the website.
- On 23 July 2021, a new Youshiko YC9387 Wi-Fi Weather Station was installed, replacing the existing Oregon Scientific WMR88 Wireless Pro Weather Station, which had failed after seven years' service, and the Oregon Scientific PCR800 Rain Gauge. I began displaying data from the new equipment on my Weather in Wales webpages on 24 July 2021.
- On 31 March 2015, a new Oregon Scientific PCR800 Rain Gauge rain-meter was installed, purchased from Mendip Weather. All other parameters are measured with the Oregon Scientific WMR88 Wireless Pro Weather Station.
