This is something my Dad would have really enjoyed. Many years ago I gave him a "weather station "that went outside a window, it was a piece of crap, but he still wrote down every morning and at night the data. Gave him something to do.
I can see a real place in the garden for serious gardeners.
That silly piece of cloth is quite handy if it's put under the battery. Instead of prying tightly packed batteries out, just lift the piece of cloth and the battery is lifted out. I find it helpful at any rate.
I know that. Even underneath the batteries it was longer than normal.
Enjoy you new Weather Station' will be able to give you patterns of weather during the year, but you can only make a predictions on past data collected.😊
Enjoy your new weather station! Knowing what the weather is and will be is very important for a gardener.
That’s the first time I’ve seen a 360 degrees of your garden, very nice.
Can't get more direct weather info than that! What a great informative tool to have! Thanks for sharing Gardener Scott! Blessings
As soon as you said what the video was about my husband (who was in the other room) said in a somberly worrisome tone “Oh no” 🤣🤣🤣. I mean, I already track the daily high/low temperatures so it’s not a totally unreasonable option. Thank you for the video(and the suggestion😂)!
Funny you upload this now. I am finally installing my weather station with a friend this weekend. Though we have designed and built the entire system from the PCB board/station code/backend-frontend software. Mine will be the 4th station we have in our system.
That is a nice unit Scott, and the price isn't bad either. I'm sure you enjoy having it. I couldn't help but notice that your daytime house temp is closer to my overnight house temp. 😅😅
Good morning from Auckland, New Zealand ....🙂🙂🙂
Good morning, Peter.
Nice location for the weather station. Representative for the garden and for good readings as well.
that is so cool, i didn't even know something like that was possible.
Oh exciting. You know I love my garden data 😊 can’t wait to hear all about your weather findings. I know I’ve already been surprised by some of mine.
Splendid! I may have to consider that. Looks easy to install.
Thanks Gardener Scott! I just got one of these weather stardom your Amazon link. Mounting it today! Can’t wait.
Funny, I was just thinking how cool it would be to have my own station. Thanks for sharing the info, looking forward to an update on it!
Fantastic video! I will be setting up a weather station for sure. Thank you for sharing this!
Wow! That is super cool. I want one.
Very helpful video! I planned to get this exact model for myself for Christmas, but just saw a Black Friday deal. Yippee 😀
Always fun to find out the specifics of your own garden's microclimate. I've been considering getting one for a while, but the cost just "for fun" has always stopped me. Maybe they'll go on sale again this year and I can potentially justify the purchase. Regardless, seeds and soil are a far more important costs for me -- maybe :)
Thanks for the entertaining process!
A weather station is the first thing that people put up when they are setting up an off grid cabin in Alaska that's because they don't get wi-fi out there. I have found that my cat is able to predict bad weather before the EMS alerts me of impending doom. She always goes to the basement just prior to the EMS giving me an alert.
I'm considering buying this model, too. This was very helpful. Great review!
Nice information.
Do u remove it when deep winter arrives? Or change out batteries?
I'll keep it in place. I will use lithium batteries, which are recommended for cold temperatures.
Loved the video. Just curious, does that station calculate degree days? Would love to see a video about pests and degree days. thanks for all the great time watching your videos.
Thanks. It doesn't calculate degree days but it does graph high and low temps each day so it's easily calculated. Thanks for the suggestion. That's one of the few topics not already on my list of future videos.
What size of pipe did you use?
Nice Thank
How do you think it will hold up with the wet spring snow?
It should hold up fine, but I'm wondering how accurate precipitation readings will be.
Compost the box and paper packaging materials.
Xin chào bạn Scott lời chào từ Vietnam
Does this station store results or do you have to manually keep the daily readings?
The data is stored online through the software link.
Hello very interesting video. I have bought a similar weather station for the farm in the south of Morocco. The farm is a palm grove . I am wondering where to put the weather station? Shall i put on top of the highest building?.
Put it in an open area. The trees may interfere with accurate readings. The top of a building can work.
What was the strongest gust you recorded on it? Just curious
Since I set it up I recorded a gust of 55mph, but we haven't reached our windy season yet.
@@GardenerScott Way more sensitive than La Crosse for sure, I may get one soon just because of that
Hey Scott, just wondering what size pole you used? NB, outside diameter? Many thanks 🙏
It's a pole for chain link fencing with an exterior diameter of 1 3/4 inches.
Hello Scott, do you know "how often" your weather station sends data to WU or other internet weather community? Greetings from Brazil.
I don't know how often, but it is providing near real-time info that can be accessed through the network. I see the other stations in my area with no problem.
@Gardener Scott How thick does the tube of the outdoor unit have to be so that it fits well in the attachment of the outdoor unit? I myself have bought an Ambient weather ws-2000 weather station from a US seller on Ebay, and now I am waiting
that it will arrive in Finland for me! :) While I'm waiting, I'd like to buy a ready-made pipe for attaching the outdoor unit, so I'm asking you how thick it needs to be? Thanks!
The base allows for tubes of different sizes. Mine is about 45mm in diameter.
@@GardenerScott Thanks!
Where did you buy the support pole?
I got it at Lowe's.
