This website is automatically updated in real time (about every 2.5 seconds) with weather observations from a Davis Vantage Pro2 personal weather station with a solar radiation sensor attached. The equipment is located in Stopsley, Bedfordshire. Weather data is received by the Davis Console and weewx connects to a Davis WeatherlinkIP module to get archive data and the live website feeds. The weather station provides the following readings:
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Wind speed
- Wind direction
- Rainfall
- Solar radiation
- Barometric Pressure
The rest of the observations on this website are done via software calculations and quality control checks to make sure the data is valid.
Weather observations are also posted to the following website:
- ILUTON8 on Weather Underground
Software used:
- weewx weather station software
- HighCharts for the various charts on the website
- The Belchertown skin theme built for weewx
- MQTT as the broker for instant data transfer from weather station to website
