Weather Station - Electricity off

Hi Everyone,
The electricity company are up-grading some bits and pieces in Ynyslas today so the electricity will be off for much of the day. The weather station will be recording data as usual but won't be able to upload it to the website.

Yep.... reception between the station and the console is being a bit temperamental though... I've put a new rechargeable battery in but I don't think we've had enough sunlight to charge it fully yet - I've ordered a few no-rechargable ones today though and will put one of those in until it brightens up a bit. Maybe that will do the trick.

Yeah, no doubt it'll fix itself now that I've bought some new batteries!

Yep... Was that you out kiting yesterday afternoon? I was going to go out but didn't get home until just after 4pm by which time it was pretty cold and the sun was setting so I decided against it. Too much hassle for half an hour on the water.

Yep... There was a power cut in Ynyslas for a couple of hours. Should be back on now though.

The joys of living on the edge with constant power failures!!
