Those kind folks over at Oregon Scientific have heard my bleats about becoming an amateur weather watcher as they have sent me a full on professional weather station.

All I can say is that folk are going to regret asking me if I think it is going to rain once I set this bad boy up in the back garden – and oh my it is an awfully big box!
Watch this space!
Read the instructions carefully now Alistair. Don’t want you being known as the Micheal Fish of the Kelvin.
Saves stepping outside and looking around I suppose. Watch out BBC!!
From my personal experience of this station since October last year – you’ll regret using it. Make sure all the sensors and USB hub are literally touching each other or the signals will drop out!
