New Weather Station Online
- Details
After a number of rain gauge failures on the existing weather station, the decision was taken to replace the core FifeWeather.co.uk weather station with a more robust and reliable unit.
Rain Gauge Failure 4th April
- Details
At 00:34 today, the station's rain gauge stopped reporting data. Fortunately I was able to swap out the rain gauge with a spare, around 11:40 today, but it does mean that rainfall data between 00:34 and 11:40, has not been captured.
