About the station

This website displays the current weather reported by my weather station, located on the southern edge of Maidstone, Kent.

The station currently comprises of a Maplin USB Weather station (N96FY) which is really a rebadged Watson WH1081 unit. The base unit is connected to a Raspberry PI using pywws to take the measurements. It then uploads the measurements up to this website, Met Office WOW, weatherunderground, Open Weather Map and to Twitter.

The @me15weather twitter feed sends a tweet once per hour comprising the current conditions. Sometimes I do post additional weather related tweets, usually if it's a weather warning.

Please Note: Maplin appears to have stopped selling these units in late 2012have these units back in stock however they are still available from other outlets online including Amazon and EBay.

  • Jan 26, 2013 - There's now a Google+ page for the weather station. I'm posting weather related articles here.
