Any update on the performance of the replacement item?

20181226_130804.thumb.jpg.25c314ebb63161d1f6315bc5aaf27e48.jpg

I have to do a bit of ground work first. The current set up is not really suitable anymore. The pole that is used is attached to a complete framework of posts/trellis/fence. In high winds, the whole framework wobbles because of this, and two fence posts have snapped. I have new ones to put up, and I also I have a spare 9ft 4x4 post which I am going to concrete in by itself and not attached to anything. It should eliminate a lot of the wobble! I'll do it in the new year as it's too damp and mucky to be farting about with it now. Plus, it's still Christmas.

Any reports yet on the replacement(s). Interesting to see you measured rainfall (albeit not a lot) last night and yet I measured nothing. Seems like the rainfall side of the units is still variable (to say the least).

Is the weatherflow smart weather station available to buy in the uk? Their website says it’s out of stock. I emailed them and they said that they don’t ship outside US/Canada, and at this stage, have no plans to do so.

I’m looking to replace my Netatmo. Are there other comparable alternatives?

I managed to get hold of a Weather Flow on eBay the other day. Going to set it up after Christmas. I'm very excited.

Have to see how my proposed set up location for sky turns out.

Nice. You didn't fancy backing the new version?

I thought about it but I have had my sights set on This one for a few years and seems adequate for my needs.

I don't know about the new version, they may be taking the p,  I'm still waiting for the original one to become available in the UK.

Does anybody know when or even if, either version will actually be for sale?

I'm sure it was available in Europe at some point? Might have sold out.

I sold mine back in the Spring - got fed up with it.
