Hello,

After thinking about it, Maplin's £50 offer swayed me and I've installed a 1081 down the end of my garden. Checking it makes a nice distraction sometimes, even though the temperature sensor suffers from solar heating so I need to find a stack of plates to screen it.

Could do with some trimming down of unreported entries on the web page but Rome wasn't built in a day. Or for £50.

The evidence

Hi, welcome to the forum, hope you enjoy your weather station and Cumulus. And well done setting up a web site.

Is FatCat a place, or is that you? And are you so big you have your own weather system?

You might want to add some text which says where you are for those who don't want to fire up Google Earth to find out.

Hatch Warren is half-way between London and Southampton. I agree that a location is essential especially for weather stations.

Oh, I thought that was a version of the guy's name, "Warren Hatch."

We have some unusual place names in the UK. Six Mile Bottom is one that springs to mind. That's in Suffolk if my memory serves me correctly. Brown Willy is a hill in Cornwall. :shock:

I hope I haven't started something! :lol:

There, I changed it due to peer pressure (adjusted to sea level).
