    This is something my Dad would have really enjoyed. Many years ago I gave him a "weather station "that went outside a window, it was a piece of crap, but he still wrote down every morning and at night the data. Gave him something to do.
    I can see a real place in the garden for serious gardeners.

    That silly piece of cloth is quite handy if it's put under the battery. Instead of prying tightly packed batteries out, just lift the piece of cloth and the battery is lifted out. I find it helpful at any rate.

    • @GardenerScott

      I know that. Even underneath the batteries it was longer than normal.

    As soon as you said what the video was about my husband (who was in the other room) said in a somberly worrisome tone “Oh no” 🤣🤣🤣. I mean, I already track the daily high/low temperatures so it’s not a totally unreasonable option. Thank you for the video(and the suggestion😂)!

    Funny you upload this now. I am finally installing my weather station with a friend this weekend. Though we have designed and built the entire system from the PCB board/station code/backend-frontend software. Mine will be the 4th station we have in our system.

    Always fun to find out the specifics of your own garden's microclimate. I've been considering getting one for a while, but the cost just "for fun" has always stopped me. Maybe they'll go on sale again this year and I can potentially justify the purchase. Regardless, seeds and soil are a far more important costs for me -- maybe :)
    Thanks for the entertaining process!

    A weather station is the first thing that people put up when they are setting up an off grid cabin in Alaska that's because they don't get wi-fi out there. I have found that my cat is able to predict bad weather before the EMS alerts me of impending doom. She always goes to the basement just prior to the EMS giving me an alert.

    • @GardenerScott
      @GardenerScott  Год назад +1

      Thanks. It doesn't calculate degree days but it does graph high and low temps each day so it's easily calculated. Thanks for the suggestion. That's one of the few topics not already on my list of future videos.

      I'll keep it in place. I will use lithium batteries, which are recommended for cold temperatures.

      It should hold up fine, but I'm wondering how accurate precipitation readings will be.

    Hello very interesting video. I have bought a similar weather station for the farm in the south of Morocco. The farm is a palm grove . I am wondering where to put the weather station? Shall i put on top of the highest building?.

    • @GardenerScott
      @GardenerScott  4 месяца назад

      Put it in an open area. The trees may interfere with accurate readings. The top of a building can work.

    Hello Scott, do you know "how often" your weather station sends data to WU or other internet weather community? Greetings from Brazil.

    • @GardenerScott
      @GardenerScott  Год назад

      I don't know how often, but it is providing near real-time info that can be accessed through the network. I see the other stations in my area with no problem.

  • @JH-ds2dt

    Does this station store results or do you have to manually keep the daily readings?

    • @GardenerScott

      The data is stored online through the software link.

    @Gardener Scott How thick does the tube of the outdoor unit have to be so that it fits well in the attachment of the outdoor unit? I myself have bought an Ambient weather ws-2000 weather station from a US seller on Ebay, and now I am waiting
    that it will arrive in Finland for me! :) While I'm waiting, I'd like to buy a ready-made pipe for attaching the outdoor unit, so I'm asking you how thick it needs to be? Thanks!

    • @GardenerScott
      @GardenerScott  27 дней назад +1

      The base allows for tubes of different sizes. Mine is about 45mm in diameter.
