This station uses WeeWX and the 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.

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 AerisWeather
