The sensor unit looks the same as my Watson and they have been working, with occasional clean/spray lube, for three years. If you buy mount the rain gauge on something solid as the wind can cause false rain measurements.

Your one is far more sophisticated than mine and more expensive too. I got mine from Argos for £5.99 :oops:  and it has been showing showers for the past three days. I haven't had a drop. :angry: :angry: :angry:

How its looking so far. I know its not showing 100% correct values right now but its only been up for a couple of hours so it should settle down soon :)

My first one came from ebay, just had a temperature sensor you put outside and a little screen showing the temp and what the pressure was.I always wanted one that did more so when this came up on offer i thought i might as well try it out :)

oh it is addictive but great that you are getting involved with readings. Mine started over 60 years ago and I still do it!
