I have a long interest going back to childhood in the weather. I studied clouds and cloud formations in grade school and learned their relationship to changes in weather. Well now that I’m retired and have the time I’m starting to put together my personal backyard weather station. I’ll be adding notes here as things progress. My project is based on “Weather Toys” by Tim Bitson published by Wiley. It will be a “1-wire” system with a Java based software server running from an old T23 laptop. I’m planning to include PHP driven graphics for a custom web display. I’ll also be posting on Weather Underground – more to follow.
