Barton-Brown Observatory opens Weather Station at WPL

Temporarily mounted on the pergola in the Library's garden, the station will be relocated to a pole on the lawn near the Observatory next spring. The equipment measures everything we need to know about the local weather from right here in

the Hub of the Huddle.

The station is now part of the Weather Underground network of over 180,000 personal weather stations nationwide. Having this local station contribute up to the minute data, will help refine the accuracy of WU's forecasts for us. The Observatory station joins three existing WU stations nearby in Franklin Springs, Deansboro and Hubbardsville. Click here for lots more information about the WU forecasting model.

Weather information can be accessed on-line by clicking on the colorful "WU" bug in the column at right. Or, you can go directly to wunderground.com on the internet, either through your browser or using the Weather Underground app that's available for most mobile devices. Entering "13480" in the search field will take you right to the Barton-Brown Observatory station at Waterville Public Library.

All the data is updated every 15 seconds. It will be archived prospectively and is searchable on the WU site. Check it out. Very informative and addictively fun!

Coming very soon: perhaps in time for the next sunny day--- a webcam that will display a real time image of what's happening outside the Library window!
