Excellent Web site. A credit to the club and shows the club to be up with all the latest technology. Well done Peter, and all others who have contributed.

Re. total annual rainfall: the station recorded 18.69 ins for the calendar year 2007, which is 17% below the average annual rainfall of 22.69 ins for the latest complete 30-year standard period 1971-2000.
Units: pressure in mb; temperature in °C; wind speed in knots; rainfall in ins.

The weather station's humidity sensor is currently out of action, also affecting the calculation of dew point and cloud base height. I am investigating the fault and have the matter in hand.

New humidity sensor installed today. Outdoor humidity, dew point and cloud base height now recording normally.

Hi Peter
Dont you think it might be a good idea to have the sea effects table of the Beaufort scale? if not in place of the land version (not too many trees at sea) or at least alongside the land lubbers windage table.

Yes indeed, it would be a good idea, but unfortunately I have no control over the format of that particular table and as far as I know there isn't a marine version available in the WeatherFlash package. It would be a matter of contacting the author of the software and suggesting he add one, which I'm happy to do. I imagine that the vast majority of the private weather stations which run the software are more land- than sea-orientated.

Update on the previous comment:
Tim West of www.meteorologica..., author of the WeatherFlash software, has agreed to add a marine version of the Beaufort Scale panel to the "wish list" of items for inclusion in a future re-write. I also suggested the panel should include the wind speed range in knots for each Force, which several people have said they'd like to see. (I thought we all knew them off by heart ... Grin )

Re. total annual rainfall: the 16.51 ins recorded for the calendar year 2008 is a significant under-reading of actual precipitation, due to the collector becoming blocked in early summer. When I can find an accurate precipitation figure for Lowestoft, I'll post it here for comparison.

Update! This problem is now resolved (20/02/09).

The outside temperature & humidity sensor on the club weather station is currently out of action, also affecting the values for cloud height and dew point. The matter is in hand but I can't as yet give a date for having it back working again.

The RNSYC Webcam & Weather Station are now back online and running more or less normally. My apologies to users for the recent extended period of downtime. There may be some further, hopefully brief, interruptions over the next week or so. Please email me if you encounter any continuing problems.
