Public Access to FENZ Rural Fire Weather Stations

Unread post by harvestelectronics »

Hi there,

I've just stumbled across your forums and thought you all might be interested in a network of publicly accessible weather stations located in some interesting places around NZ - includes places that only have satellite coverage. No sign-up, login or any gimmicks.

http://fenz.harvest.com

There are approximately 150 currently installed with more being installed heading into summer.
All stations are installed to WMO standard with high end sensors.

regards,
Andrew

Handy bit of data there alright, though it seems theyve got the North Canterbury- Mid/South Canterbury boundary as the Rakaia River and not the Waimakariri River

I always thought the mid Canterbury boundary was the rakaia river lol. Chch is in North Canterbury as there is no central Canterbury.

Well no, the boundary between north and central is the Waimakariri River and Chch sits in its own constituency https://www.beehive.govt.nz/sites/all/f ... encies.pdf

That doesn't mark sense, why would they have two different boundary rivers, its always been that way ever since i can remember

Yes that link implies it does, seems to be a bit of conflicting information out there. The North Canterbury News newspaper says to distributed through out NC, it doesn't distribute south of the waimak nor does it run stories about happenings from south of the river. Wikipedia is not always right either.
