UPDATED AUGUST 2026 -The weather data that appears on this website is collected via an Oregon Scientific WMR928 wireless weather station. The temperature/humidity sensor is now housed in 'Professional' 'Stevenson Screen, therefore readings are reasonably representative of actual temperature except possibly during summer under calm sunny days, and again during Summer, when the wind is from the SW/S/SE, when I definitely over-read perhaps by up to +2.0°C through the morning. Unfortunately, I can no longer site my anemometer, so there is no wind data since June 2021. The rain gauge was adapted to allow a recording resolution to 0.1mm rather than the 1mm resolution of the original unit by adding a wider capture funnel. As my automatic rain guage is under a rain shadow, the amounts seen in the live data on the website through the day, will be under reading at times. I have a 'manual' rain gauge outside of the rain shadow, so do apply corrections to the rainfall data that appears in the monthly data reports.

UPDATED AUGUST 2026 - The observations from October 2005 to August 2007 were from Stanground, SE Peterborough. Observations from September 2007 to January 2009 were from Bretton, West Peterborough and from December 2009 to May 2018, from Park Farm, SE Peterborough again. Then from June 2018 to March 2019, I was in Netherton, West Peterborough. Another move back to Park Farm from March 2019 to June 2021, and then to my current location from then, Orton Malborne, SSW Peterborough. Although data has been recorded from these different locations, they are in close enough proximity to each other that I have decided to continue the observed data as if from the same site. Although this is not ideal, the climate is very similar and any variation should be very negligible. Historical reports will be clear as to location(s) where the data was recorded.

The software used to collate all the data is called Weather Display(WD). The software allows me to present the data using pre-determined formats or custom designs as I have done for this website. The Weather Display software was developed by Brian Hamilton and there is forum to support the software
