Strathspey Weather
The Weather Station

Weather Station

Established in January 2001, "Strathspey Weather," a member of the "Climatological Observers Link," is a private weather-monitoring facility situated within the Cairngorms National Park of Highland Scotland.  We are situated within the Morayshire village of Cromdale, approximately three miles east of Grantown-on-Spey. The area is renowned not only for its whisky - but for its natural beauty, and diversity of British wildlife.  Strathspey is subject to the extremes of British Climate, experiencing differences of 45°C  between the highs of the summer, and the lows of the Highland winter.  I am always seeking to develop and improve the site and welcome any comments, feedback or suggestions. The station is situated within the grounds of my house, and is equipped with a range of equipment, mostly manufactured by Davis Instruments, consisting of temperature and humidity sensors, which are housed within a radiation shield, mounted on an assembly arm. Rainfall is collected and recorded by means of an automatic rain-gauge, which operates by means of a self-emptying tipping-arm calibrated to 0.2mm. Wind data is acquired via a roof-mounted anemometer  beneath  which  is  a mast-mounted sunshine sensor, manufactured by R & D Instruments.

The instruments are linked to an internal desk-top console, which provides a continuous  display of selectable data - current, and extremes of  temperature, wind speed/direction, barometric pressure, humidity and rainfall, showing both daily and annual totals. Sunshine data is given on a separate display. Attached to the console is a data link recorder, which automatically records and stores data for periods of up to two months, independent of the computer. This data is periodically downloaded using specialist software to produce a broad range of historical  graphs, charts and reports. Please feel free to use any of the data within the site - printer-friendly copies on request.
