I'm researching my gift from Father Xmas.

I'm not sure what's available but I think I require wireless internet
connectivity and windows software to at a minimum routinely log each days
total precip, max and min temps, pressure trends and (dependent on cost)
wind speed too.

Don't mind considering a range of costs and options but I've so far led my
other half to believe Santa will need informing that budget will be in
excess of £300. I know that I may be severely underestimating here but if
any kind soul would please provide an opinion / recommendation on what can
be bought for what money I'd be very thankful.

I picked up an Oregon WMR-928 for £189 on Ebay. No problems with
delivery or description. I realise it ain't a Davis but for the money a
pretty good buy IMHO.
Let me know if you want a link to the Ebay seller?

By the way all you can see the data from the weather station here.

Thanks Gareth.

That's a really pleasant surprise & I'll go google the model to find out
more.

Like you, I'm not looking for empirical precision but something that I can
share output for my location (Moffat, Dumfries & Galloway) to one of the
internet based weather station networks. Incidentally, the 24hr graph crashd
my PC twice with a 'blue screen of death' but so does Tesco.com so I'm sure
it's something wobbly with my computer setup and that's my problem to solve
(maybe a new PC too with the savings ?!).

Cheers

Or a different OS. My Linux based box that does the weather stuff and
acts as my firewall/gateway, local mail, web and news servers is
currently "up 101 days, 8:47". It's not longer because we had a power
cut.

I think the WMR928 uses the same protocols as my WM918 so there shouldn't
be a problem with that side.
