Weather

This weather station is located a few miles from Gatwick Airport, Crawley, West Sussex. Sensors measure wind speed and direction, air pressure, rain fall, humidity and temperature, with the data being uploaded to our website every 5 minutes. Manufactured by Davis Instruments, readings are provided with a general accuracy of ±5% for wind, ±1°C for temp and ±2mb for pressure.

No two weather station installations are the same and sensor location is often the result of a compromise. Due to security considerations, our temperature sensor is located at a height of 3m rather than the standard 1.25m; there may therefore be a slight variation if comparing our readings with others locally.
