They say weather is a British obsession, and certainly it’s become that at home since we installed a weather station at the end of the garden. Now we have up to the minute read-outs on the wind speed and direction, temperature, humidity, height of the clouds, dew point, wind chill and all manner of other facts you can’t live modern life without having to hand.

And it’s all published online.

More impressive than our own weather pages, though, is the implementation through Weather Underground. This is a global weather reporting network, with far more sensors than the ‘professional’ networks. Our station is the only one reporting for Chelmsford and, as Chris of the Brennan pointed out, it’s now overlaying its databases with the Google Maps service to provide aerial views of the locations of each one. You can even click on Chelmsford and see what’s happening in our garden.

The full Weather Underground details for our station and all of its historical records are here.

It was -0.3 degrees Celcius at 05h11 this morning.
