About SheffieldWX & My Weather Station
Welcome to my personal weather website www.sheffieldwx.co.uk.
I've been interested in meteorology since I was about 10 years old.
I bought my first weather station in May 2007, an Oregon Scientific WMR100.
I upgraded to an Oregon Scientific WMR200 on Mar 06, 2008.
I replaced the WMR200 with a Davis Vantage Pro 2 (Wireless) on 21st February 2017, and it was installed and working on 2nd March 2017.
The station is located in East Sheffield.
I wanted to share my data online, so I made my own weather website.
The site is powered by a Davis Vantage Pro 2 (Wireless) weather station and CumulusMX Software.
The station includes an anemometer, a rain gauge, and a thermo-hydro sensor, all situated for the highest accuracy possible.
