Weather station hardware

The weather station is an Oregon Scientific WM-918, chosen because it was cheap. Since it has been discontinued you can pick them up for a quarter of what a Davis or other "professional" station costs.

The hardware is pretty much as supplied, the manufacturer or supplier (Skyview) had made the RFI resistor mod to the interface box. After installation I painted the temp/humidity sensor and the outside of the rain collector. The anemometer is mounted on a mast about 1 metre above the highest point of the roof.
