Does anybody own such a beast or have any positive or negative recommendations?

I'm not interested in anything fancy but I would like rainfall to supplement the temperature and humidity I already have.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18245&Focus=307312#Comment_307312 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18245&Focus=307312#Comment_307312 Tue, 26 Nov 2024 18:50:08 +0000 fostertom https://meteostat.net/en ?]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18245&Focus=307313#Comment_307313 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18245&Focus=307313#Comment_307313 Tue, 26 Nov 2024 18:59:00 +0000 fostertom https://shinyweatherdata.com ?

Meteostat I came across online, seems straightforward.

Davis is one obvious possibility but pretty expensive. Other names I've seen mention of are Ecowitt and Netatmo, who both do weather stations without moving parts, which sounds good.

I thought I had it solved, since I discovered that it appears my neighbour has not closed his weather station, but just closed his website and he still posts data to wunderground.

Then I discovered that wunderground stopped its free API a few years ago ( the firm was bought by IBM )]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18245&Focus=307339#Comment_307339 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18245&Focus=307339#Comment_307339 Thu, 28 Nov 2024 16:37:32 +0000 fostertom Posted By: djhI'm looking for hardware for myself!

In the style of many closed-source websites, you can still get Wunderground access if you join them with your own weather station, but I guess that probably defeats the point..!

Alternatively, maybe try Visual Crossing:
