NOTE

 

Some of my averages are missing for August as this is the first August that I have recorded from for some records. That was the result of a fault that I experienced with my weather station.

 

 

RECENT ADDITIONS TO STATISTICS LIST

 

1.   I have (at last) added all Air Pressure & Trend readings to all of my Set Time Data records (including last years data).

I was very happy with the fact that I only found 3 minor errors while inserting the data for around the 550 or so days that had to insert data for. That is, around 2000 separate readings inserted for 12am, 9am, 3pm, 6pm & 9pm.
