How hot is your house?

The thermometer initially was offscale over 50C, but that's because it had fallen over on the garden bench and so was measuring the temperature of the sundrenched table top.

Says a bit hotter over at Marshals airport!..

he report was made 16 minutes ago, at 12:50 UTC

Wind 8 kt from the Southwest, varying between South and West Temperature 36°C

Humidity 21%

Pressure 1018 hPa

Visibility 10 km or more

no clouds below 1500 m and no cumulonimbus

This is inspiring me to get a spare Pi and a couple of temp sensors and do some recorded monitoring. :)

the coin cells on my zigbee temperature/humidity sensor both need replacing ...

Good luck with getting any Pis at all at the moment But I am right there with you. I want one of those as well

I have a ZT-X auto ranging multimeter with a thermocouple probe reading

Cambridge Computer Laboratory Rooftop Weather at 03:12 PM on 18 Jul 22:

Temperature: 35.0 C Pressure: 1019 mBar Humidity: 13 % Dewpoint: 2.5 C Wind: 0 knots from the SW Sunshine: 9.4 hours (today) Rainfall: 0.1 mm since midnight

Summary: sunny, very dry, very hot, windy

So its all within a degree or so.

Mildenhall: 13:56 Temperature: 36.0°C Pressure: 1018.17mb Humidity: 21 % Dewpoint: 10.0°C Wind: WSW/8.1mph Rainfall: None

Holding at 23C in the living room and the core of the house is slightly cooler than that. Outside it is presently 30.2 in the shade. About 31C in the hottest places in North Yorks now and 10C cooler at the coast.

Sunshine is unremitting and that milky look is coming back into the skies so it probably will stay quite warm overnight. I had my doubts that it would get so hot today since it was initially cloudy here but the high uniform clouds quickly burned off after about 9am.

My office is at 28C with a fan on "slow" (which is actually paper rearrangingly quick). That part of the house is new build so it has nothing like the thermal inertia of the core solid brick/stone walls 3' thick in places.

CPU is at 39C (would go up if I was working it harder).

RH is nearly 30% here. It rained briefly yesterday morning. Crops are all frying in the sun and desperately short of water.

Where I am in Kent, it is 35°C outside and 26°C in the sitting room. My attic is at 40°C. I can't say that it is uncomfortable in the sitting room. It was not quite so warm yesterday.

Cambridge Marshals is saying its now 37 don't think they'll break the record today!..

FWIW the Uni site says;

Data quality and uses

This is an amateur-maintained weather station. At the moment, we strongly advise against using the data here in statistical analysis without prior cleaning and calibration using other sources. It would be easy to draw incorrect conclusions otherwise, because:

Observations are not gathered in similar conditions to ones used by the Met Office Our sensors are not calibrated against references Some sensors have been changed over time with ones working on different principles (see implementation) Data contains inaccuracies, and the documented list is not exhaustive

I bought a RPi a few days ago, as a kit, including a case, a few cables and a charger. About £100 for a 4GB, which is obviously expensive but not completely OTT. OKdo.

:)

House still at 24 downstairs but a bit sweatier up her. Prolly 27-29

Pleasantly cooler downstairs at 25/20 dry/wet bulb so I will sleep in the lounge tonight.

Jonathan Harston formulated on Monday :

Been doing it for years, it's interesting. I log indoor/outdoor temp, im/out RH, rainfall, wind speed direction, dew point and pressure. Take a look at CumulusMX and a Pi.

Puch, I paid £25 for mine.
