Re: Maplin Weather Station - Spikes! Spikes and more Spikes

Well I've cleared the duff data and set windspeed to 7m/s

I will check to see if any more spikes are recorded and will copy log files

Thanks for your help Steve

Re: Maplin Weather Station - Spikes! Spikes and more Spikes

Hi Steve, I have set spike removals for everything. However I noted the wind data is in m/s. I have set these to 25 m/s for Wind Gust and Windspeed. I assume this isn't good enough Just googled the conversation between mph and m/s and it looks like I need to lower the value to something like 7 m/s? KL

Re: Maplin Weather Station - Spikes! Spikes and more Spikes

Re: temp spikes and pressure errors

Thanks for this tip. I'll give my weather station a good overhaul and also make use of the spike removal tool

Re: Maplin Weather Station - Spikes! Spikes and more Spikes

:P

Point taken. I will read properly before making changes!

Will also have a look at upgrading! You shouldn't make the software so damn useful. I was up for binning the station and getting a Davis for Christmas!

Re: Maplin Weather Station - Spikes! Spikes and more Spikes

Have you tried the spike removal settings in Cumulus - on the calibration screen? You're using an old, beta version of Cumulus, by the way. Hi Steve, thanks for letting me know about the beta version. It works fine though, is it worth me upgrading? I know I had a few issues with twitter when I did ...

Maplin Weather Station - Spikes! Spikes and more Spikes

Been silently managing a problem with my weather stattion but it's driving me mad. Basically I've had my stattion for 2 year or so. It's been good on the main apart from the summer temp spikes when it gets hot and over reports. Anyway every now and then I'd logon to the headless PC running my websit...

Re: temp spikes and pressure errors

Strange one and not sure if I can help. But I am having regular temp spikes for my outdoor sensors and wind spikes.

Typically I will see -12 and wind speeds over 100mph

I wonder if my device is on the way out?

Re: Exceptional Weather . . .

Hi All, Thanks for the advice Steve et al. I refrained from using the calibration settings and did the old 'dabbing' (tip - long press!) and the pressure is now reading correctly. I very much agree regarding the spikey data output of this weather station. I may opt for a Davis station eventually but...

Re: Exceptional Weather . . .

Thanks, I will give it a go tonight. I have had my Station up and running for a few years now, but I had a lot of problems with spikey data. I try to erase any silly extremes and I have changed the batteries. The data records have been stable of late, albeit for the pressure. So I will try and fix t...

Re: Exceptional Weather . . .

Apologies, I forgot rule number one to perform a search :oops: I will amend the extremes, but if my Maplin Weather Station is reading incorrectly, is there a way to rectify this? I couldn't find similar posts for this weather station Seems this problem has been occuring recently though, could be to ...

Exceptional Weather . . .

I've noticed a lot of weather forecasts stating 'Exceptional Weather' in the last few weeks and months. This morning it's

'Forecast: Exceptional Weather, Settled fine'

Is there any reason for this? Under what circumstances is this forecast generated?

Re: Twitter Problem - Missing Tweets from Search Index

Just thought I'd update everyone here. I raised a ticket with the support team at Twitter and they have now white listed me. Apparently there was an initial problem with my e-mail on creation of the account that caused it to be black listed. I have reduced the frequency of Tweets to 2 hours and it s...
