Tim brings up an interesting point - weather reporting websites? My
question
is - which are the most accurate everywhere, which work best in specific
regions? My base is NOAA but their weather reports, at least in this area
(Coos County, Oregon), come from miles away at airports, mostly. Keep in
mind I don't watch television so their reports aren't much use to me.

I keep thermometers in various places, out of direct sun, one in the
unheated greenhouse, one on top of a gate, another in a garden window
facing
west. They are the old fashioned "recording" kind where you move the
columns
of mercury? with a magnet. Other thermometers are useless as I move these
around.

I've finally bought a Kestral 5500 and am learning to use it. It does not
have GPS which would be handy, but my new Sony camera has that capability,
so obviously that's not at the top of the priority list.

Even given the accuracy of various weather reporting instruments, I have a
surprising range of microclimates just on my city lot, which sits 30-40
feet
above the river and its flood plain.

One other question - how accurate are and which are the best international
weather sites?

Thanks,

Robin Hansen
