Interested in the weather? I certainly was and for quite a few years wondered if a PWS (personal Weather Station) was the way to go. And then, in 2008 i took the plunge and bought my first ‘all singing’ station, a Mydel unit from China.

The supplied software was pretty basic and I happened to come across Cumulus, a fabulous coding from Steve Loft.  The rest is history.

The station lives in the back garden and feeds data to my web pages and to the Met Office WOW (weather on the web).  Click the links for more.
