About

October 2021. I brought a Maplins weather station, which was a clone of a Fine Offset WH1080, and setup WeeWx software on a Raspberry Pi. I based my original website on the Exfoliation skin.

After almost 10 years, the weather station was showing it's age and following the demise of Maplins it was no longer possible to obtain replacement instruments at a reasonable price. A clone of a WH2650 was ordered, and the website was been redeveloped using the then latest Raspbian (Buster - Debian 10), WeeWx (4.4.0) and a customised version of the Bootstrap skin. This makes use of Bootstrap CSS Framework to facilitate:

  • Grid-based responsive layout e.g. it should work well on phones and tablets as well as PC screens
  • Tool tips for the menu items in the headings
  • Live Charts for the current conditions

4th December 2024. Finally I have upgraded to WeeWx 5.1.0, and the latest versions of the skins. I have combined this with switching to using VirtualBox VMs rather than Raspberry Pis to run my live & test versions of WeeWx.
