HI TM, Thanks for the information,the area I was working was maybe 100metres lower and surrounded by trees and about 4km from my site as the crow flies,so plenty of differances,Ive got a maximum gust rfeading today of 28.2mph which seems about right.The station gives out readings at 48 second intervals its my first serious weather station although it wont be as proffesional as some of you guys are used to ,but it will do me as a first step until I get a more serious one hopefully next year. Regards Les.

HI Cookie, My site is 210 metres but I have my wind meter on top of a home made mast (made from a old extending aluminium tree lopper) at about 12' high,this is to avoid shelter from my hut and a small conifer tree. Regards Les.

HI Weatherteers, Ive had my first ever weather station for almost two weeks now and Im very pleased with it,however today I have a recorded wind gust reading of 25.1mph.Im sure it was not that windy today as I was only working a couple of miles down the road and was raking leaves so I think I would of noticed a wind of that stength.Could it be a rogue reading ,if so how often can they occur.The station was only £60 but seems good enough quality. Regards Les.

HI There, Its strange sometimes when science and the paranormal meet.Quite often when Ball Lightning is obseved it seems to act as if its alive or controlled by some intelligence, there are accounts of BL entering houses wandering around the sittingroom then preceeding to float the stairs and exit by a bedroom window or dissapear up the chimney. Will O The Wisp or Jack O Lantern has been know to taunt witnesses by keeping its distance when followed,then approach when they try to wander away.This mischievous almost poltergeist behavour can sometimes extent to more comman weather phenonomen like when lightning knocked out the BBC Weather Centres computer and back in the 70's when the Edinburgh University Weather Department was struck with a bolt of lightning melting a neat hole through a window pane.Not to mention fish and frog falls,and the time a giant hailstone fell in the USA with a Carp inside!Someone up there has a sense of humour! Regards Les.

HI Snowkissed, Ive managed to set up my gallery and download my orb images onto it.In the full size image the orb is just above and to the left of the dogs head.The images are not as clear as Id like due to resizing.If you still want the prints that should be clearer let me know. Regards Les. PS, Incidently the image was taken on the 23rd January 2006,near the old gunpowder mill Roslin Glen.The camera was a 4mp CONCORD 4340z compact.Weather was dull but no flash.

HI There, It was interesting from mid afternoon with frontal cloud slowly advancing from the west,textbook stuff with even the preceding feathery Cirrus on veiw and with a Sundog as well. Temperatures took a early dip to be below freezing around 5pm its now cloudy and up to 0.8C.The wind has risen slightly but still only 2-3mph which is no bad thing as the calm conditions over the past two days has meant my woodburning stove has not been drawing worth a... Regards Les.

HI All, I wish I could download my orb images but I cant ,I think because Im on dialup.The orb I captured is not unlike the second set by Snowkissed but the image was taken in daylight against a gravel shoreline of a river,although it was a rather dull January day at the bottom of a river valley no flash was used.I remember seeing video footage on television of several orbs moving about a sitting room they dident strike me as defocused insects,dust or reflections.There are some really bad 'orb' images out there some I saw on the internet some time ago were obviously out of focus snowflakes in a dark garden.A lot of so called UFO footage that finds itself on the TV sometimes are so obviously defocused planets or aircraft landing lights its actually a insult to the intelligence and quite amazing how they can fool anyone. Regards Les.
