Woburn Weather Center http://pauland.net/vws/wx.html
Your local weather update for Woburn, Massachusetts, and Middlesex County, Massachusetts.
Purpose of this website is to provide local weather observation data live from my private weather station along with other public available
information. This is a private non-commercial project intended to provide our community with a free weather information service via the
Internet. The reason for the project is that I am a weather nut, and I truly enjoy producing this website.
Launched June 1, 2004..
The weather station is located in Woburn, Massachusetts, USA. at the following coordinates:
Latitude: 42 Degrees 27 Minutes 29 Seconds North
Longitude: 71 Degrees 11 Minutes 44 Seconds West
Altitude: 160 feet above sea level
The weather data is gathered by a Davis Instruments wireless VANTAGE PRO2 WEATHER STATION.
The station measures barometric pressure, temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind speed as well as wind direction,and much more.
The main weather station instrumentation consists of
A Temperature gauge, A rain gauge,and a Humidity sensor. these are mounted on a post in my back yard.
A wind anemometer is mounted on the roof of our home.
A barometric pressure gauge is inside the home.
Here's a photo of the temperature, humidity, and rainfall sensors, along with one of the solar powered transmitters, which
transmit the data to the desktop control unit.
The weather station is connected to a PC which in turn is connected to the internet 24/7 via a Local Area Network , router, and Cable Modem. This P.C. is the real heart of the system. The P.C. is a real work horse, it's simple amazing how much work this poor old computer does day in and day out, with scarcely a problem or complaint. The P.C. runs the weather station software, which is Virtual Weather Station Internet Edition from Ambient software. The software features Email, FTP File Transfer, and HTTP file transfer. It's this software that generates all the web pages and graphics that you see when you view the my weather station pages.
Thanks for dropping by ! I hope you find the data from the Weather Station
interesting, and useful.
