Some history and stuff

Ballogie Weather is a personal weather station, set up in February 2008 with the intention of collecting and sharing weather data from this beautiful part of Northeast Scotland close to Aboyne in the Dee valley.
The station itself is automatic and requires very little maintenance, made by Davis we are hoping it will last for many years, the unit is positioned in a relatively open aspect with only slight wind disruption from the North/Northeast, the anemometer is at a height of only 6 feet; this is intentional in order to record wind speeds relative to what we feel.
The data obtained is automatically recorded by a dedicated computer which uploads to the internet at regular intervals; however as we are on the limits for broadband this can sometimes be a bit unreliable (problems of this kind are usually posted under Observations & News).
One of the best and most reliable sites to view the regular data uploads is that at Weather Underground, who amongst other things produce the sticker opposite.
Ballogie Weather may not be transmitting some Data for a while due to the complete failure of its hard drive, worse still at the moment it looks like the backup has gone as well. Not good, but be assured I am working on it.
We have had to get rid of the link to Email, due to the high proportion of disturbing spam that it was attracting. But please feel free to continue to mail us using admin at the URL. Contact can also be made, either through the Blog, or via Weather Underground.
Proud to be a member of the SCWN (Scottish Weather Network).
