Back a long way to the first page of the post, when galfert helped me calibrate my pressure. instructions were spot on. I hadnt given it much thought since, but today I comared my relative (sea-level) pressure with that of the nearest Met Office station at Holbeach, I suppose as its relatve pressure you could use any station for comparison.

Dont think you can get much closer than that.(There is a blue line on this graph as well :D )

Belated thanks galfet :clap:

+1

Comparing with https://metarreader.com/ESGT/trollhatta ... rg-airport about 3 km away and waiting for pressure to change ;)
It has been steady at 1007 hPa since calibration was completed.
My relative pressure has been down to 1006.6 and right now 1006.9

Next action
sudo apt install mono-complete
Looks like it will be Version: 5.18.0.240+dfsg-3

However, the funnel on the rain gauge (its a push and twist mechanism) doesn't "click" into place, is quite loose and can easily be twisted. Maybe needs a bit of tape on the underside

Thanks Big Daddy, about to install Cumulus shortly and what you say regarding the rain gauge was my original feeling as well until I used some more twisting power i.e. it did click into place :D
