Mon Dec 25 21:46:57 UTC 2023: New batteries in rain gauge, but I don't think that was necessarily the problem with it.
Wed Dec 13 13:28:34 UTC 2023: New outdoor weathercam now in place and working.
Mon Dec 4 10:15:25 UTC 2023: Weather cam now in operation again, on a Tapo indoor security camera. This will hopefully be upgraded in the near future.
Wed Nov 8 12:53:30 UTC 2023: Rain gauge is not working properly.
Sun Oct 15 20:35:19 UTC 2023: First ground frost of the year this morning.
Thu Mar 30 20:49:19 UTC 2023: Sensor 2 is now a calculated temperature using up to six sensors, removing outliers. It will be monitored for robustness - e.g. against bright sunshine - in the coming weeks and months.
Thu Jan 19 09:42:32 UTC 2023: Snowfall between 17th and 19th January; 3-4cm - rain recorded during this period is thawing snow.
Wed Jan 18 13:42:40 UTC 2023: Today's recorded rain is melting snow, which fell in showers from around 15:00 yesterday.
Tue Dec 20 21:51:41 UTC 2022: The snow eventually thawed on Sunday, 18th, with rain and ice on the road, making it pretty much impassable for most of the day.
Sat 10 Dec 13:06:35 UTC 2022: First sledging snow for 2 years yesterday evening. Settled well on frozen ground.
Sat 19 Nov 09:38:47 UTC 2022: First frost of the winter. -1.1⁰C.
Mon Aug 1 14:43:55 UTC 2022: An archiving issue caused problems with the temperature readings at the start of the month. Now hopefully fixed.
Mon Jul 25 20:48:25 UTC 2022: Temperature from sensor 1 has become unreliable. Batteries changed, but still not reporting properly.
Sun Jul 17 16:16:34 UTC 2022: Record temperature at this site was 32.1°C on 10th July 2013. If the forecast is correct, this is likely to be broken tomorrow, 18th July.
Thu Jun 9 19:36:42 UTC 2022: rain gauge was blocked up. Rain data for last week or so is unreliable.
Thu Mar 31 12:25:07 UTC 2022: First snowfall of the season overnight - and the first lying snow. Thawed by late morning.
Fri Mar 18 18:31:44 UTC 2022: Temperature Sensor 1 and Sensor 2 switched, as the location of sensor 2 has proved more reliable. Logs also updated, back to 1st February.
Mon Feb 21 11:16:38 UTC 2022: RTL-433 did not come back up properly after storm Eunice power cuts, and I only just noticed. So, 3 days of rain and tempoerature readings are missing.
Tue Jan 25 19:16:26 UTC 2022: Looking back on January's pressure plot, I am fairly sure the blip on 15th at around 18:30 UTC is the pressure wave from the eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano in Tonga. The timing is about correct, according to reports.
Wed Jan 19 15:22:30 UTC 2022: With a more powerful coordinator, and a better way of extracting the data from HomeAssistant, pressure readings are now more reliable. It still sometimes needs manual correction for the first point after a power outage.
Fri Jan 14 10:21:29 UTC 2022: This morning's rain was more likely frost thawing in the collector.
Sat Dec 4 22:51:03 UTC 2021: Issues with pressure readings over the last 30 hours were due to Home Assistant problems - probably a coordinator issue. Now resolved for the moment, though system is probably still vulnerable; a more powerful coordinator is on order.
Thu Nov 4 21:49:47 UTC 2021: Ice on the car windscreens this evening, for the first time this winter.
Wed Oct 20 18:49:03 UTC 2021: Despite quite a lot of rain today, the rain gauge has failed to record anything until I went to check it in the early evening. Nothing obviously wrong, but leaves were partially blocking it. That shouldn't cause it to fail though.
Fri Sep 24 12:58:23 UTC 2021: Rain gauge (TFA Dostmann Wireless) now installed an tested. There may be a bit of tweaking to do yet. I still need to calibrate it against a manual gauge to ensure accuracy.
Sun Sep 19 16:27:32 UTC 2021: Pressure now working from Home Assistant - a Xiaomi Aqara sensor, again. Temperature and humidity from 433MHz wifi sensors.
Mon Sep 13 22:32:18 UTC 2021: Temperature and humidity now operating via 433 wifi, as Home Assistant proved awkward. Pressure data is from Met Office Trawsgoed report. A 433 rain gauge is on order.
Mon May 17 16:19:03 UTC 2021: Pressure gauge now arrived and installed. Temperature and humidity gauge still needs a proper screen.
Tue May 4 15:08:32 UTC 2021: I'm working on getting this going again, but this time using separate sensors feeding in via Home Assistant. Sensors and location not currently reliable! Pressure gauge awaited. Rain and wind are more long term projects. Note all times are currently UTC.
Wed 4 Nov 21:15:23 GMT 2020: First ground frost of the winter this morning.
Wed 18 Sep 20:04:50 BST 2019: ... and now it's down again. Probably time to get a new weatherstation.
Tue 17 Sep 20:52:46 BST 2019: The weatherstation is working again! However, in the two years since it was last online, the wind and rain gauge have been damaged, and are not currently working.
Thu 14 Sep 11:24:05 BST 2017: Following last night's thunderstorm, the weather station is no longer communicating properly with the server. Unclear what the fault is as yet.
Wed 16 Aug 22:51:36 BST 2017: Server upgrade: now running Ubuntu 16.04, Xenial Xerus.
Wed Jul 19 23:12:56 BST 2017: Camera is down again. The N900 didn't work as well as I hoped.
Thu Jun 29 21:15:33 BST 2017: Camera is back up, using an old Nolia N900 phone camera.
Tue Jun 20 13:49:33 BST 2017: Maximums this month should be treated with a little suspicion. There is a point in mid-late afternoon where the extra shading I put in place around the (already supposedly, but poorly) shaded sensor is bypassed by the high sun. This can be seen on the graphs.
Thu Apr 27 13:58:39 BST 2017: Two successive nights with lows below -3°C. This is highly unusual for the end of April.
Wed Apr 26 10:21:52 BST 2017: A low of -3.2°C last night probably means no cherries or plums this year; the trees are in full blossom.
Sat Apr 8 18:28:19 BST 2017: Today's high of 20.9°C is a full 6°C higher than this year's previous high.
Sat Apr 8 13:05:20 BST 2017: Warmest day of the year so far, by a good few degrees. And still rising.
Sun Mar 5 18:19:23 GMT 2017: Rain gauge funnel found in garden, unknown exactly how long it has been missina; probably since 25/2. Replaced.
Sat Feb 11 12:46:53 GMT 2017: Snow settled for a couple of hours this morning
Thu Jan 12 11:50:55 GMT 2017: Morning rain is turning to snow, as forecast.

Wed Nov 2 08:54:18 GMT 2016: First frost of the season: -0.6°C last night.
Mon Oct 31 12:22:58 GMT 2016: Temperature nudging 21°C; unusual for this time of year (though November started warmer last year).
Sun Oct 2 12:39:44 BST 2016: 2.5°C, the coldest night since 15th May.
Wed Sep 14 15:22:03 BST 2016: 26.1°C is hot for September, but it is not a record. 27.9°C was recorded on 6 September 2005, and 27.4°C on 30 September and 1st October 2011
Mon Jul 18 15:45:09 BST 2016: After a relatively cool first half to July, suddenly the warmest day of the year.

Tue Apr 26 20:10:44 BST 2016: Snowing as the sun sets on 25th April
Wed Apr 13 12:54:58 BST 2016: Warmest day of the year so far, by a long way.
Sat Apr 9 12:37:14 BST 2016: Sleet turning to snow, and temperature dropping sharply from 7°C a few minutes ago to 4°C now.
Fri Apr 1 01:06:18 BST 2016: The average March temperature of 4.6°C makes it the second coldest month of the past year; only February was colder.
Fri Mar 4 09:42:22 GMT 2016: Snow has settled overnight. Forecast has changed to snow through the day today.
Wed Feb 24 22:09:40 GMT 2016: Light snow at the moment
Thu Feb 18 10:24:09 GMT 2016: Sleet turning to snow. This wasn't forecast at all; it's supposed to be dry.

Sun Jan 17 12:49:32 GMT 2016: The snow has all gone this morning. It was lovely to see it for a few days though.
Thu Jan 14 10:34:51 GMT 2016: The first snow of the winter has turned the fields around a pale green.
Mon Dec 14 17:24:28 GMT 2015: Webcam appears to be unreliable with the new server. Maybe it's time to retire the 12 year old Fuji.
Mon Dec 14 17:23:04 GMT 2015: Server power supply failed late on 9th. New server put in place today (14th). Weatherstation continued recording throughout but data for 10th December was largely lost. Rain for 10th is calculated from differences recorded in weatherstation.
Mon Nov 30 23:28:04 GMT 2015: Problem located. Open2300 software does not work well if anemometer not plugged in, plus there were synchronisation problems. Running on old base unit. Around 31 hours of data lost (including a huge amount of rain).
Sun Nov 29 16:46:24 GMT 2015: There seems to have been a base unit communication error, likely due to the winds. New base unit does not solve problem. Will install a new cable when possible.
Sun Nov 29 13:56:16 GMT 2015: Wind gauge, which was only working for direction anyway, has blown down in the stormy weather. A new wind gauge is ready to be put in place; it just needs a sturdy pole to mount it on.
Mon Nov 23 00:00:45 GMT 2015: First air frost of the season - 21st November. That is very late.
Mon Nov 2 23:15:33 GMT 2015: Today's maximum of 21.9°C was again corroberated by Trawsgoed's 22.2°C, the second highest November temperature ever recorded in the UK (yesterday's was the hightest).
Sun Nov 1 23:22:08 GMT 2015: Trawsgoed, just down the valley, recorded 22.4°C today, a new November record for the whole of the UK. This site recorded 22.2°C, and I was starting to wonder if the thermometer had gone wrong! Seems it is quite accurate.
Sun Nov 1 11:50:59 GMT 2015: Before today, the highest temperatrue recorded in November at this site was 15.5°C on 2nd November 2005. It is already 20.2°C, and rising.
Thu Oct 22 00:27:02 BST 2015: First good test of the new rain gauge - it works!
Tue Oct 13 12:24:56 BST 2015: 1.8°C minimum last night, the coldest since 27th April.
Mon Oct 12 11:47:28 BST 2015: At 2.4°C, last night's minimum was the lowest since 15th May.
Sun Oct 11 13:43:06 BST 2015: New rain gauge installed today, and in a better location.
Sun Sep 6 01:39:29 BST 2015: Coldest night since 10th June
Mon Jul 27 23:58:18 BST 2015: New rain gauge and replacement wind sensor arrived. It's just too wet to get out there and install it at the moment!
Tue Jul 7 23:31:55 BST 2015: Rain gauge has failed. A new one is on order.
Sun Jun 14 21:14:55 BST 2015: It rained yesterday. Quite a bit. But it was mostly light, misty rain, and was mild, so it seems it evaporated before tipping the bucket on the counter.
Mon Apr 27 00:47:42 BST 2015: This is not a good night for a frost (-1.5°C at present), with the blossom on the fruit trees.
Mon Apr 13 00:37:01 BST 2015: First frost of the month tonight. Could it be the last of the season? The garden hopes so.
Wed Apr 8 19:23:39 BST 2015: 20°C passed for the first time this year, today.
Sun Apr 5 22:46:52 BST 2015: Today's maximum of 18.8°C is quite easily the warmest of the year so far.

Sat Oct 4 01:54:04 BST 2014: September 2014 was the mildest since 2006 at this site, and by far the driest in my record (the record for September 2010 is incomplete).
Fri Sep 19 13:26:48 BST 2014: Last night's drizzle was not enough to register on the weatherstation so it still reports 'drought', though it probably isn't, technically, now.
Wed Sep 17 11:41:03 BST 2014: The only rain to fall so far this month was in the first few hours of 1st. Technically therefore, we're now in a drought. That's not common in Autumn!
Sat Jul 26 20:10:54 BST 2014: Two successive days over 28°C, the warmest of the year, despite the forecast that it was supposed to cool down towards the end of the week.
Mon Mar 24 00:08:21 GMT 2014: The first air frost since 10th February - a full 6 weeks ago. For the time of year, that's extraordinary.
Thu Mar 13 20:36:24 GMT 2014: Today's maximum of 18.2°C is the earliest in the year this temperature has been recorded at this site. By contrast, nearby Aberystwyth stayed in single figures today, due to sea fog.
Sun Mar 9 16:52:28 GMT 2014: Maximum today of 17.1°C; the weather this weekend is such a contrast to anything we've had for many months.
Sat Mar 8 23:47:21 GMT 2014: The warmest day of the year - at 14.2°C, and the first double figure temperature since 5th January.
