These readings are updated every 15 minutes. The weather station is in a sheltered west-facing location in the mouth of Cheddar Gorge, some 400 feet below the hill top. Winds are largely easterly or westerly, because that's the way the Gorge lies. The westerly aspect also means that the best of the sun and thus the highest temperatures, are towards the later afternoon and evening. And of course any snow that ever falls on the rain gauge is only recorded when it melts.

Also note that whilst every attempt is made to keep this system running 24 hours, sometimes problems are encountered such as overnight Windows updates/computer restarts, local power cuts, low batteries, cat knocking over rain gauge etc. so it's not always 100% accurate. Any time this page seems broken, visit this other Weather Display site at Filton or the Blagdon weather station for alternative local data.
