Dammit my anemometer has malfunctioned!
Looks like stuck reed switch (again). Why does it always happen during windy weather... and the roof will probably be too wet to get up there tomorrow morning :(

Just got my wind meter working again. Gave the spinning part a poke or two with my good old magnet taped to the end of a super duper long stick... (actually 2 long sticks taped together) ;)

sun briefly came out and straight away the temp shot up and cloud bases darkened. Just need it to come out for a good period. It sure is warm and muggy.
