Comments on: Got my own Internet weather station http://www.ianparr.com/blog/2010/02/11/got-my-own-internet-weather-station/ Just another WordPress site Thu, 29 Sep 2011 20:11:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: ian http://www.ianparr.com/blog/2010/02/11/got-my-own-internet-weather-station/#comment-132 ian Thu, 03 Feb 2011 19:00:27 +0000 http://ianparr.com/blog/?p=299#comment-132 I thinks its pretty accurate. I upload my stats here: http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=IWESTSUS42 When I compare to other stations in the area, its seems pretty consistent. A few problems I do have are: 1. Station is in the garden surrounded by buildings so the wind tends to swirl and not provide a consistent record of the prevailing direction. 2. Below -3 degrees C the station freezes up when damp and so direction and anemometer lock up ! I thinks its pretty accurate.

And have now just seen that there has been an update to the cumulus software today? Any tips or tricks to update to make sure I don't loose any day or settings now I've managed to sort it? Also what are the improvements in the new version? Cheers Mike Hi Ian – I managed to get my weather station uploaded to my website today.

In my case I created a /weather subdirectory on my server and entered the appropriate FTP login account details for the cumulus software to deposit the files. You can see the result at http://ianparr.com/weather Hi Mike,
