About This Station

Where in the heck is it anyways?
This weather station is located in Florence, Alabama, right in the downtown area. I am about a quarter mile north of the Tennessee River, and near the Pine Street and Veterans Drive intersection. Here is a map of the station's approximate location...

A Closer Look...

What kind of station is it, and how do you get your data online?
The weather station is a Davis Weather Monitor II, and I use Weather Display to get my data on the internet. It also uploads my data to Weather Underground, and CWOP (CWOP ID - CW0168).

What instruments are included with the station, what do they look like, and what do they do?
The components that make up the station are the display console, rain gauge, temp/humidity sensor, and anemometer.

The rain gauge is located away from all trees and obstacles on my deck, weighted down so the wind doesn't tip it over.     My temperature/humidity sensor is mounted inside a radiation shield so I can get the most accurate readings possible.   The anemometer is about 30 ft. high, mounted on a pvc pipe and secured to the house. The anemometer is about 4 feet above the roofline so the wind blowing over the house dosen't affect the readings.
