Top graph shows barometric pressure (mauve), wind gust (orange) and average speed (yellow) and low speed (blue). Centre dotted graph shows wind direction throughout the period. Bottom graph shows humidity (green), outdoor temperature in shade (red), dew point (pink), solar UV (yellow, when available), and rainfall (blue, in 1mm increments, reset at midnight). With rainfall, note that up to 1mm of rain can fall without it registering on the system.

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. This is by no means a professional weather station - there's no Stevenson screen, and siting and monitoring of equipment is very unlikely to be to Met Office standards. It's just intended as a guide for the average local resident or visitor. 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. Low batteries are also a cause of a gradually increasing high barometer reading peaking at 1050 until the batteries are changed. But any time this page seems broken, visit other local members of the Wunderground network for alternative local data. |
