About This Station

Welcome to my weather station pages. Local weather data is collected using a Davis Vantage Pro2+ with 24hrs FARS . The site and its data is collected using WeatherLink Live with CumulusMX software and a Meteobridge Pro2 which reads the data from the Davis 6253 Console. The data is updated on the website every second. The instruments must be situated correctly for a proper representation of the current weather conditions. A perfectly sited station is said to achieve a grade of 30/30. Adrians Weather Station grades in at 26/30. A 24hrs FARS (Fan Aspirated Radiation Shield) is attached to the ISS to provide better airflow around the temperature and humidity sensors.The station is also equipped with Solar and UV Sensors. Rainfall measurements are taken every morning at 7:00am daily with 2 manual rain gauges first a Tropo 4" precipitation gauge and second a 8" Standard Rain Gauge (SRG) which holds a capicity of 20 inches the manual 8" SRG is used as the primary. Both are Cocorahs approved gauges and are situated in a clear and open space. The automated gauge is a precision tipping bucket design with bird spikes installed. The wind sensors (vane and anemometer) were positioned away from the main unit with its data transmitted via a solar powered wireless transmitter (#6332) and sits atop a 10 foot EMT pipe which is attached to a 12 foot 4X4 at a height of 23 feet recommended height is 33 feet. The Davis Vantage Pro2+ has proved to be very reliable and the only maintenance has been some periodic cleaning, battery replacements and the occasional unblocking of the rain gauge.

8-inch Standard Rain Gauge

The 8-inch standard rain gauge (referred to as SRG) is the workhorse of the National Weather Service, and is used throughout the world to take official measurements. One of the advantages of the SRG is its capacity. The inner measuring tube holds two inches of rain, and the outer cylinder holds 20 inches of rain.
