This station uses WeeWX and the New Belchertown WeeWX skin. It uses MQTT to update the web browser whenever data is received from the weather station (every 16 seconds).

This is a personal hobby station using an Aercus WeatherRanger (a rebadged Fineoffset HP1000). Most measurements are accurate when compared to London Heathrow airport (EGLL) which is 11km/7mi away. However local wind speed and direction is affected by trees in neighbouring gardens which reduce wind speed and cause swirl. Additionaly, measured temperature peak can be higher than actual by 1-2 degrees due to strong sunlight shining directly on the sensor.

The US AQI (2024 edition with lower PM_2∙5), EU CAQI and UK DAQI are calculated from the 2-hour average from nearby SensorCommunity PM₁₀ and PM_2∙5 particulate matter sensors and NO₂, O₃, CO and SO₂ readings are monitored from Aeris/XWeather
