Hi guys,
I just thought this would be an interesting question to ask
Let's see who has the longest series of weather measurements
So, the question is:
How long have you been tracking the weather?
a) electronically - i.e. using an automated PWS, which logs the data at relatively short intervals, does not necessarily mean it had to be available online
b) manually - in case you tracked weather even before by simply looking at a thermometer and writing down the values
Just two conditions:
- the series must be continuous - i.e. no gaps (a week or two due to faulty sensor or vacation is fine of course, but not like several months/years)
- at least one measurement/day
I will start
Manually: 2009-2011 - daily min/max temperature, humidity,pressure - using a digital PWS with min/max memory and conditions logged daily at midnight
Electronically: Jan 1, 2012 - now - in 5min intervals, using WH1080 and Meteobridge (2014-2015 data available at meteopage.com, since Jun 2015 data available at meteotemplate.com (the demo)
My total continuous series is therefore now 7yrs and 1 month, automatic 5 yrs and 1 month
