Hi Geoff,

You might want to let people know where you live otherwise comparisons might be a tad difficult. ;)

Sorry, I know you're in Rhyl so check on Wunderground for stations nearby.
Cheers,
Ray, Cheshire.

Ye that may be a good Idea (South Rhyl North Wales) have been on wunderground there are station about 15 miles away
I don't think my readings are far out but I just need a little convincing.

Thanks Ray (I like your Website)

Geoff

What readings are you concerned about Geoff? You can't really check rainfall as it will vary even over a short distance. Several hours of steady rain should provide the closest comparison with a nearby site. Mark in Wlmslow is 4 miles away from me which is reasonable. See if you have another site that close. Temps on a windy cloudy day will vary little over a larger area.

My web pages still use the standard Cumulus design but colours and content have been changed. If you ever want to change yours always make a backup of the originals and start with small changes.
Cheers,
Ray, Cheshire.

Will do I have had a look around on other sites and areas closer to me and I don't think I have
a lot to be concerned about, the other site's in my area are only differ a little really I think I should just leave alone and just look around at other sites now and then, I still need to get use to the vp2.

just like that Chinese proverb of yours.
