Current Weather at Strickley

Friday 10 October 2008

Don't believe the computer!

If you've looked at the Strickley Weather lately you might think we're enjoying a spell of fine weather. Not so. It's pouring down (as it did on Tuesday). There's still a slight problem with the transmitter that sends the rain totals from the measuring gizmo in the Teapot Field to the computer in the office. It may be as simple as the batteries (though it is transmitting other data) or we may need a new sender unit. As it's best investigated in daylight (and I'm at work till 6 this week) we've not delved too deeply.
We reckon there was well over half an inch on Tuesday, and if it carries on like this, there'll be more today.
