Weather station

At Millbank PWS It is our working practice to produce all our own weather information, based on our sophisticated equipment, computers and software. This includes, direct weather satellite down links in real time from EUMETSATgeostationary and NOAA polar orbiting satellites. We also produce our own daily weather forecast, updated five times a day. The hub at the centre of our system is powered by four computers running on an always on basis and mostly administered remotely.

Our primary weather station is the Davis Wireless Vantage Pro2 Plus (6163UK) and includes UV & solar radiation sensors and 24-hour fan-assisted radiation shield.

This weather station is recalibrated each month using high precision manual gauges and instruments.
