UV Sensor added to Weather Station

Last weekend I added the final sensor to the Davis Vantage Pro 2 weather station on the roof; a UV sensor. The software which reads the data has been updated to read UV value and calculate sunshine hours per day, both of which are automatically reflected in the Weather gadget. I have yet to update live weather page as this is quite a big job; like many things IT related its not as simple as adding a graph to the page – the software I use has been updated and now has an editor, but it will require a bit of work to migrate the existing page to the new version so I’ll save that for another day.

    Hi Kevin,
    We’ve just discovered your weather site. Great graphics – well done! We live 0.5m south-east of you and it’s interesting to compare what’s displayed with what we see out of the window!

    Hi Royer, I know exactly what you mean! Thats why I installed the webcam so I can start to visualise what 1000w/m2 solar actually meant! If you want to understand some more about how it all works, take a look at the About Woking Weather, and Detailed Weather Station Information pages at the top.

    Also, if you have suggestions or impprovements, let me know.

    Cheers
