This station reports what it "feels like" using Apparent Temperature instead of Wind Chill, Heat Index, and
Humidex. This provides a more comprehensive and streamlined measure of how the weather feels, incorporating
factors like temperature, humidity, and wind into a single, easy-to-understand value.
For traditionalists, it's safe to say that the Apparent Temperature essentially reflects the Wind Chill during
colder months and aligns closely with the Humidex in warmer periods, offering a familiar reference point while
incorporating modern meteorological understanding.

This station uses a
Davis Vantage Vue VUE, controlled by
'WeeWX'
a user customized version of an experimental weather software system interpreted by Python
3.11.2.
Weewx was designed to be simple, fast, and easy to understand by leveraging modern software concepts.
This software is running on a Raspberry Pi Model 5 using the Arm64 port of the Debian GNU/Linux 12 operating system.
The Integrated Sensor Suite (ISS) transmits sensor data to the base station every 2.5 seconds at a rate of 19.2 kbps.
These data are archived, which enables weewx to perform analytics and update the
website accordingly every 5 minutes.
Weewx uptime: 58 days, 2 hours, 55 minutes
Server uptime: 58 days, 3 hours, 8 minutes
weewx v5.2.0
Console battery: 4.8 V
Remote sensor signal strength: 98%
