Wolverhampton Weather Station - Station Information

Wolverhampton Weather Station is located north of Wolverhampton at 52.61°N -2.059°W .

The equipment i use for the station is a Oregon Scientific WMR 968 wireless weather station:

As requested here's some information on what the 'Live Weather' dials mean, most are self explanatory, but if you are new to meteorology i hope the information below helps.

Sea Level Barometer - As you know we all live on different heights above sea level, so it would be impossible to have accurate data from every weatherstation if they were all set on their height above sea level, so all weatherstation barometers are set at 'sea level' to avoid any problems.

Raw Barometer - This is the barometer set at 172 meters above sea level thats the height my station is at, If you have a analouge (dial) barometer in your house/workplace etc. This is the one to set it by.

Cloud Base Height - Is the approximate height of the lowest clouds overhead from the location of the weather station.

Wind Chill - The temprature of the moving air on a fixed point, Here's two examples: 1, Feels nice and refeshing to us in summer with a slight breeze. 2, Can be extremerly cold (and life threatening) in winter to us even if there is only a slight breeze.

Dew Point & Relative Humidity - The dew point is associated with the relative humidity. The dew point dial indicates how much moisture is in the air. The higher the dew point, the higher the moisture content of the air at a given temprature. A high relative humidity indicates that the dew point is closer to the current air temperature. If the relative humidity is 100%, the dew point will be equal to the current temperature. Given a constant dew point, when the temperature increases the relative humidity will decrease. It is for this reason that warmer climates can have low relative humidity yet still feel uncomfortable.
