About the data

1. Is this scientifically accurate? No. Everything here comes from a fairly cheap weather station outside my studio. Treat the numbers as rough. The patterns are the useful part, like when the day warms up or which way the wind blows.
2. The sun hits the sensors at the end of the day. Late in the afternoon the sun shines straight onto the station and the light and temperature readings shoot up. Those sharp evening peaks are the sun on the sensor. The air itself was cooler.
3. "Typical" is the median. On the 24-hour charts, the typical line is the middle reading for each quarter of an hour across every day. One sun-baked evening barely moves it.
4. Light is relative. Most readings sit well under 1,000 lux, and open daylight usually measures in the thousands. Use the light chart for the times it gets light and dark, and take the numbers with a pinch of salt.
5. The wind barely registers. The strongest sustained reading so far is , a light breeze. All the speeds run low. Read the wind rose for direction. The station reports a gust alongside each reading, but those were only kept from 23 October 2026, so earlier days have none.
6. Rain comes in steps. The gauge tips at about 0.28 mm at a time. Light drizzle that never fills the bucket doesn't register, and the daily totals are approximate.
7. A few readings are impossible. The station has reported air pressure of 637 hPa and 102 mm of rain in fifteen minutes. Both would be records by a distance. The charts leave out glitches like these ( so far).
8. Every reading, gaps and all. The page loads all 16,380 readings since 1 May, which is why it takes a moment. The station has dropped out a few times, the longest for about five days at the end of May. Those days stay blank, and any gap over 45 minutes breaks the line.
9. Times and updates. Times are UK time. New readings reach this page within a couple of hours.
