Fine Offset rain sensor proving to be completely inaccurate. Going to definitely invest in a standard rain gauge instead. #rain #wxgeek

My wife, @debbeddeb1232, got my #weather nerd ass a weather station for Christmas and I. Am. Obsessed.

NWS: "don't rely on microclimates to stay safe" (in a Red Flag Warning) LOL (how many people know what a microclimate is?) #wxgeek
I would love to install a weather station at my house. However I have a wall of trees on the south side. I am afraid the wind anemometer would get inaccurate readings for direction and strength. Anyone know a good guideline for installation? #wxgeek #WXTools
What kind of person uses the GFS to plan out a local airport pickup a week ahead? Really! 🤪 #itsme #wxgeek #gfs
Aviation Weather Center just launched their new website. https://aviationweather.gov/

ngl sometimes one of the appeals of being a weather nerd is just "ooo pretty colours" 😂 #wxgeek
related: I super appreciate the clarity of the NWS when communicating weather hazards. "this is what we're pretty sure about, this is how/why things could change, this is what you should do right now." all in plain language, without the use of insipid canned warning text that has been copypasted thousands of times. #wx #wxgeek

Wind values unavailable/erroneous as it appears the station is not receiving anything from the anemometer.

A shame because it is windy (looks like NE). Odd as the anemometer itself was replaced just a couple years ago and the transmitter battery should also be fine.

Will try to get up and investigate today or tomorrow.

Upgrade complete. There might be some minor up-and-down interruptions but they will not likely be noticeable.

I am in the process of moving @AlberniweatherBot to my #selfhosted instance.

There happens to be a new mastodon plugin for the weewx weather server software I use, so I’ll be using that rather than the manual cron-job I’ve used previously.

Lots of development happening in the Mastodon world!
