The weather today in LFE...

I was bought a weather station at Christmas - a LaCrosse-2300 - and up until yesterday was using the supplied software to view, record and publish on the web, the weather from my back garden.
The software supplied with the 2300 is HeavyWeather, perfectly adequate on a basic sort of level, with export facilities to Excel to make pretty graphs.

Yesterday I downloaded Weather-Display from www.weather-display.com which is an alternative display and publisher - and more! It's not cheap at 70 usa dollars - which comes to about £37, but it has a lot of functionality including FTP and e-mail facilities, lots of calculators, and web page creators and editors. There's also facilities to upload data to sites such as wunderground and others. There's also the ability to set up a telephone weather station!

Very pretty, and plenty to keep you amused on a dull day (or month) - but there are downsides, apart from the cost. It's very processor hungry, and it can be slow. The interface was designed by an icon designer on speed - and too much time on his hands! It can be accessed through your home LAN with a free client viewer.

You can see my station using the inbuilt web page at my weather page. This was my second attempt at using weather-display to make a page to show the weather in LFE (that's Leicester Forest East to you).
