'Holme Valley Weather' from Holmfirth Hill, Thongsbridge. West Yorkshire. UK


Current SkyCam picture and weather data for all on the Internet; transmitted from the amateur radio station G4LED using Kenwood transceiver, 'Davis Vantage Pro2 Plus' weather equipment; on air via the national APRS radio network in the two metre ham allocation, narrow band, Frequency Modulated, mode F3D on 144.800MHz

APRS activity can also be viewed: download the free software from http://www.welcome.to/UiView and follow the directions there. You don't need specialised radio equipment-a scanning receiver feeding audio directly into your computer's sound card will suffice.

G4LED is sited on the old Holmfirth Hill; nestling on the borders of Sycamore and Muslin Hall; close to the Holmfirth High School campus. All instruments are to Met Office standards and to their recommended sitings; mast mounted eight metres above the garden ground level, itself 503 feet above mean sea level (Newlyn datum). Like most weather stations, wind values are attenuated and affected due to many nearby trees, also a large house directly to the south west; the readings are lower than actual velocities.

Skycam auto iris Playstation2 fixed lens camera, shows cloud type; night hours show seriously increasing levels of Holme Valley light pollution.



Current data update is at five minute intervals. The historic values (soon again when I sort out the software 5.8 version!) will be shown for their interest.

More information and development is planned but not actual forecasts; you must interpret the data!
