We have a professional weather station on our flat roof. Click below the image on the title above and a new page will open up on which the current live weather conditions at Southmead are displayed. The display is updated every ten seconds and includes historical reports if you just click on most of the indicators.
The station is a Davis Vantage Pro 2 with solar and UV sensors and was set up in September 2008.
2010 seemed to be a very dry year - click on the link below to see a comparison of the rainfall by month for 2009 and 2010.
The trend of lower than average rain in 2010 was confirmed by cross reference to the Met Office data.
2011 has also started dry - 20% less than in the first three months of 2010 with March failing to deliver the usual early spring wind and rain.
