OVERVIEW
Weather
has been another hobby of mine since one of my favorite Uncles gave me a
combination temperature-hydrometer-indoor/outdoor weather instrument when I was
in high school. I used to monitor local airport frequencies to get
consolidated weather reports and continuing education (weather reports on radio
and TV in those days were little more than the daily temperature, wind and
rain). I cannot accurately remember how many Heathkit weather stations
that have been built over the years. But today's options for home weather
stations have went from a consumer to prosumer category. My present
station for the past 8 years is a Davis Vantage Pro-2 wireless unit. The
rain, solar, temperature, humidity and rain sensors are mounted at 7', and the
wind sensors at 45'. Stability and reliability have been commonplace
except for two separate fire ant attacks that have caused damage. Below
are links to my on-site weather station and other ones you may find of interest.
