  • There is a known issue with the sunlight and rain sensors sometimes over-reporting readings. We are investigating how best to fix this and we should be able to correct archived records once the problem is resolved.

Data quality and uses

This is an amateur-maintained weather station. At the moment, we strongly advise against using the data here in statistical analysis without prior cleaning and calibration using other sources. It would be easy to draw incorrect conclusions otherwise, because:

  • Observations are not gathered in similar conditions to ones used by the Met Office
  • Our sensors are not calibrated against references
  • Some sensors have been changed over time with ones working on different principles (see implementation)
  • Data contains inaccuracies, and the documented list is not exhaustive

Most of those issues can be corrected for, by pre-processing the raw data. However, we have not yet released any quality-controlled dataset.
