- Weather station / Oregon Scientific WM918 -

- Description -
2007.09.27 The weather station is now OnLine again, now using FreeWx on Windows NT 2000 platform.

The idea to get my own 'weather station' is to be able to log our local weather mostly for fun. I also have the weather station hocked to a computer, to log and to upload weather data to my web-site.


Indoor unit with RS-232 Serial cable to computer.


OutDoor unit - Anemometer


OutDoor unit - Anemometer / Closeup


OutDoor unit - Rain Gauge


OutDoor unit - Temp / Atmospheric Pressure / Humidity sensor


current WX-Server"Home
(Also hosting this web-pages and WebCam

2007.09.27 The server is updated again, take a look at the 'server' pages for updated information

This is an image of the first Weather-Server
This is some information of my previous Weather-Server

- Local Weather -
Finaly i succeeded in my efforts to put my local weather report 'on-line'.
  • 'Realtime' local Weather report! Updated every 1h.

    Honors to the Brains behind...
    I now use wx200d server/client software on a Fedora Core5 (Linux) platfor.
    Author of the exelent software is Timothy D. Witham.

    Previous used software 'FreeWX' by Andy Keir. (Used on NT2000 platform)
    There is more information about the 'FreeWX' software @

    The weather station is found @ Sagitta Pedagog AB http://www.sagitta.se
