What are your end-of-month climate statistics according to WeatherCat?

Well, it is only where the yellow circle is instead of the red circle where it is supposed to be.

Do you have plans to move it to the red circle location or are you getting too senior citizeny to risk the roof?

Hey, I resemble that remark!!;)

Yep, there are plans. Now that it's warming up, my future son-in-law is going to help. He's a mechanical engineer, so should be able to figure out how to replace the current anemometer.

My anemometer is mounted on a tall pole attached to the side of my house. However, it uses a separate transmitter that is accessible via an upstairs window. Otherwise, your image is almost an exact duplicate of where the main ISS is; surrounded by trees!

As long as the window doesn't fall out, I won't either and I can swap batteries easily. But "the day" is coming...

Yep, I have the separate anemometer transmitter, too, attached to the back of the house at ground level. The ISS isn't in the yellow circle location. That's just where the bird feeders are, and as far as the wire would reach. The ISS (as well as the separate soil station transmitter) are in the blue circle, at the edge of the garden, but still over turf as recommended. The anemometer can be seen on the roof, and is at 10 meters as recommended.

How well do you get along with your neighbor?! Looks like he might have lots of tree-free area in his front yard!!  By the way, I do NOT recommend a 12/12 pitch roof for anemometer mountings.

Just so you people know it's not blue sky and green everywhere, here is what it looks like outside my home this morning.

[xairbusdriver]

Sure looks like some puffy clouds in a blue sky and where I come from, those "Christmas trees" are evergreens! Are those others Aspen or Birch or something else? Personally, I think your area is beautiful... to visit, anyway! Not sure about shoveling that white stuff, however! But I think you have solved that problem, on the driveway, at least. Just hope you are friends with the snow plow drivers!

Thanks Steve, and X-Air for your climate reports!

Here is the report from the San Francisco East Bay as usual via WeatherCatRCP:



Sadly, the statistics more or less tell the whole story . . . . . .

Oh well, . . . . . Edouard

May was...
     Cooler than average (43.19°F versus an average of 45.58)
     Wetter than average (2.65 in versus an average total of 2.21)
     Windier than average (a wind run of 3,524 miles versus an average of 3,192)

June was...
   Warmer than average (70.57°F versus an average of 69.34)
   Drier than average (2.82 in versus an average total of 3.56)
   Calmer than average (a wind run of 655 miles versus an average of 1,608)

The wind run is low because 1) the anemometer is still on the bird feeder post, and 2) the trees around the anemometer transmitter have grown and blocked the sun, so I'm always getting low battery or just no signal at all.

I'm considering just moving the anemometer to the ISS, storing the anemometer transmitter, and ignoring the 10 Meter recommendation.

From high on the eastern edge of the Uinta Mountains in Utah:

June was...
   Cooler than average (56.93°F versus an average of 57.82)
   Wetter than average (1.11 in versus an average total of 0.99)
   Windier than average (a wind run of 3,345 miles versus an average of 3,127)

Do it. It's a simple solution for the capacitor to be reloaded each day.
