I like the Davis instruments; they are well made and long lasting, which is
a rarity these days. I had an old spare unit installed at home for a while
but decided to sell it, as there are enough local stations near me that I
don't need it. When I was working, we hosted one of the local stations for
the Island Weather research project out of UVic. Some really interesting
weather data can be collected when you have dozens of these units spread
across an area:

I think someone is spoofing a location on you.   :-)

I mostly use this one these days.

I'd like to get one up and running at our club here at AYC.

Jeff,

There was even talk about putting the weather station on one of the 
buoys (!). Fortunately, cool heads prevailed.


Btw. there is a PWS that reports that it is right in the middle of the 
Lac Deschenes (https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/IOTTAW95 
). A few of us 
tried to find it at its coordinates, but nobody, so far, was successful.


Cheers

Cool.  I think NSC had something like this many years ago, was located on one 
of the towers
of the main clubhouse that no longer exist.  Lighthouse will be an excellent 
choice for location.
Closer to the race venue and in largely clear air.

Hello,
A while back I asked for help with selecting a weather station. This 
is a quick update.

Thanks to everyone who provided input.
The Club decided to select the Davis system. It has been purchased in 
the fall and we have it installed in a temporary location on the 
Clubhouse. It will move to a better location in the Spring.
If anyone is interested, here is a link to the weather page:

We are still working on the design.
Thank you again

Hi,
This is not C related, but certainly sailing-related…
I have a general question to anyone who is involved in running a 
weather station for the sailing club (or similar). Our Club had 
various weather stations over the years, but the last one failed about 
a year ago and we did not have anything this season. I was asked to 
investigate what we could use.

I have two options already: Davis Vantage Pro 2 and WeatherFlow Tempest.
Davis w/s is reasonably high-end, but it also has a rather high-end 
price. WeatherFlow is very new, has very attractive pricing and no 
moving parts.
This will be a Sailing Club w/s, so the most important parameters are 
wind speed and direction; anything else is a bonus.

Thanks
