G'day,
I was just passing by and saw your light on - hope you don't mind.
It seems that Jáchym has given himself another administrative duty. A silly chap is our Jáchym (well, at times, he is).
Greetings to you all from Sydney, the Australian one, although I'm not in Sydney but located about 60 Km to the west of that fair city in an area known as The Blue Mountains. The station is not as high as that might indicate, it being only 240 Metres a.s.l.
The station is a La Crosse WS2355 - It's all wired/cabled with the sensors spread around the property rather than clumped together on a pole or mast of some description. Additional to that is a camera from which I upload to my sites one frame every minute. It uses Weather Display as the primary program and feeds two sites; one is my own ancient HTML coding and the other Jáchym's Meteotemplate.
Like some others on here I'm 'getting on a bit' having completed seven decades and now heading all too rapidly to the end of the eighth. My interest probably began when I was about ten years of age when a relative gave me The Observers Book of Weather as a birthday or Christmas gift. Years later the leader of a youth group to which I belonged and who is an official contributor to the local Bureau of Meteorology showed me his set-up. He had a beautiful barograph, all shiny brass and scrupulously clean glass. How I lusted after one for myself. Alas it was not to be as, when I started earning my living, to buy one would have cost more than four weeks' wages.
So, career and marriage and family and grandchildren later, along came these wonderful electronic digital contrivances. Well, I wasn't going to miss out was I? So here I am. Whilst the original site started in 2006 collection of data to a database only began in late 2013 so there's not a lot of information available to the sites.
That's enough, I'm off to sort out some related bothers. Then again, there's always tomorrow.
Cheers
