Hi Guys,

The Holfuy station on Lake Illawarra has been reading incorrect wind direction (about 40 degrees to the west) for the last few weeks due to a station misalignment when it was transferred to a new navigation pole. This error has been corrected this morning, so should be back to normal now.

FYI - this station celebrated it's 10th anniversary last month!

Have fun,
bushy

Hi Guys,
It looks like the weather station has developed a power issue which is affecting its operation. The station uses a small solar panel feeding into LiPo batteries to power the electronics. The solar panel looks like it has stopped working.
Maybe the moral of the story is "don't touch something that is working"....!😂 Oh well couldn't help it this time.
I'll look at removing the station soon to enable proper fault finding .
Cheers,
bushy
