St Bees Weather Station

A regular request from prospective visitors, particularly overseas ones, is "What's the weather like in May/June/September/ ... ". Well, hopefully this will eventually tell you exactly what our weather is like. Various options can be selected from the above links.

A weather station has been setup in association with the St Bees Village Primary School, funded in part by the generosity of some village businesses & by Neighbourhood Forum - See Credits. The children and villagers and visitors alike have access to the data via the St Bees web site.

To fund maintenance of the weather station, past data (from 2006) is available for a small charge - £2 a month or £100 for all currently available data. Alltough the weather station is a high quality one, the data is not up to professional meteorological standards and any use made of the data must take this into account.

The solar radiation data can be seen via the raw data options.

The weather station was setup in 2006, but we can't add retrospective data to the program, although coarse manually collected data is available going back to

There are a few gaps due to the occasional unservicability. The data is updated at various intervals - fast changing data (wind speed/direction) every 5 minutes, slower changing data every 30 minutes. Historic data is updated every morning.

Due to a problem with the weather sensors, some of the data shown for 2009 is missing or incorrect. We did not have summer temperatures in early February!!! The outdoor sensor had an intermitent fault and like all intermittent faults, proved hard to track.

I am very grateful to my supplier, John Dann of Prodata Weather Systems, who kindly lent me an outdoor sensor whilst ours was being repaired. Considering I bought the unit 4 years ago this is service well above the call of duty! Thank you John!
