| on the ground after being washed away by the rains. | |||||||||

| Instrument Additions | |||||||||
| ~ Installed AWS rain gauge & added current rainfall data to my website. Rain gauge still doesn't seem to be working | |||||||||
| perfectly as yet because it is picking up false measurements at a rate of around 1-3mm per day. | |||||||||
| Installing this also brought on new problems with my temp sensor over about 3 days later in the month. I believe a | |||||||||
| connection problem was to blame as since cleaning the contacts, there has been no further problems. Though | |||||||||
| interestingly I tried a brand new modular plug & I still wasn't getting any response! | |||||||||
