Weather Station Nagu uses Google AdSense technology to display advertisements on station pages. This makes it possible to Station Master to receive a few euros per year for maintaining this service. Lately, Google AdSense has started displaying ”full window” advertisements while a page is loading. This is a bit annoying, and Station Master has tried...

After some background work with databases, Weather Station Nagu’s front page has been restored to old look and feel. There is a new gauge, UV Index and lightning information. All statistics pages will also be restored in a while. However, in November, some data cannot be restored due to erratic measurements of the old WS...

Weather Station Nagu’s new engine, Weatherflow Tempest station has now been engaged. At the same time station’s web pages have changed, and there will be more changes as Station Master figures out what data can be retrieved from the station. It will be possible to even show some forecasts that are made based on Tempest...

While Weather Station Nagu is waiting for its new hardware, you might be delighted to know that a friend of Station Master already received his WeatherFlow Tempest station. Visit station Ramsö/Nagu!

As Weather Station Nagu followers have probably noted, there have been a lot of update issues lately. Reason to this is the failing sensor suite transmitter electronics. Looks that the circuit board fails when outside humidity reaches near 100%. Luckily there is hope for improvement. The new Weatherflow Tempest hardware has been shipped from Orlando,...

Today Station Master removed the circuit board of the ISS transmitter unit, cleaned it, replaced obviously faulty superconductor and sprayed the thing with electronics protection lacquer. Lo and behold–the circuit board booted alive! Obviously, no warranty can be given to this fix, but let’s hope it lasts until new hardware is available!

The sensor suite’s electronics have failed again. Probably the hour quota of the component just is completed.

Weather Station’s ISS transmitter unit came back online, completely out-of-the-blue. Maybe it has something to do with decreased humidity? How stable the functionality is, no one knows. Station Master is not very keen to invest in current Davis hardware, because new Weather Flow Tempest hardware should be shipping in November. The project has been delayed...

Starting yesterday evening, measurements went offline. Very likely the outside sensor suite’s transmitter unit has failed completely, first symptom being temperature drift that was compensated. Station Master is working on this.

After checking out situation with drifted temperature measurement, the drift seems to be constant. It must be due to some issue with Vantage Pro’s sensor mother board, because replacement sensor did not help. Sensor measurement is now calibrated in weewx software reading Vantage Pro, and published again.
