Following are the changes and updates made to the site, in reverse chronological order. Keep and eye on this page to get the latest information on new features and additions to the site.
Station Maintenance Today
- Details
Wind and UV readings will be sporadic today, as some work is undertaken on the weather station's mast-mounted instruments.
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.
