The owners are usually serious weather-watchers &#8211; they are using expensive weather stations for a start. Obviously, they might disappear if the owner gives up their hobby, but it should help with getting current live weather for HB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/skylink-pro.com\/remote-index.php?domainname=leicesterairport.com&amp;keyword=lac&amp;fbclid=IwAR0U2TB9KF3Hg3U0iOBwYUUzd4uhCiPA2V8WZkuEOsFz698427pqrYqcv10\">Leicestershire Aero Club<\/a>, complete with dials and some weather trend info.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"369\" height=\"603\" src=\"https:\/\/siteoptimiser.co.uk\/testtubes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/leicester-aero-club.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-211\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.northantsweather.org\/\">Pitsford School<\/a> has had an online station for years, I like this one. <strong>Select the gauges<\/strong>, from menu near bottom of their page. As well as dials showing various things, it shows trend graphs if you hover over any of the dials\/gauges. In the case of the wind gauge, it also gives a ten-minute summary that includes average wind and max wind gusts. You select to view the weather gauges from the red text links below the tabulated data or from the Live Weather link in the main menu. There are other links there to play with as well. Units can be set below the last dial (cloud base indicator). And it gives an estimate of cloud base too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"510\" height=\"531\" src=\"https:\/\/siteoptimiser.co.uk\/testtubes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/pitsford-school.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-215\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Then there&#8217;s the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wunderground.com\/wundermap\">Wunderground<\/a> a.k.a. Weather Underground. You have to zoom in on the map and move it around a bit to get to the area that matters, then click on the little wind indicators, each of which takes you to that particular station&#8217;s data. It seems to use your ISP&#8217;s local server location to centre it on your current location. Here are the local ones &#8211; HB is next to the red dot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"651\" height=\"572\" src=\"https:\/\/siteoptimiser.co.uk\/testtubes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wundergound.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-216\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are links to some of these stations&#8217; sites:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wunderground.com\/dashboard\/pws\/IMARKE46\">Market Harborough<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wunderground.com\/dashboard\/pws\/ILUTTE47\">Walton\/Bruntingthorpe<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wunderground.com\/dashboard\/pws\/ILEICE82\">Lodge Farm<\/a> (north-east of Walton),  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wunderground.com\/dashboard\/pws\/ILUTTE16\">Lutterworth<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wunderground.com\/dashboard\/pws\/INORTH374\">Naseby<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wunderground.com\/dashboard\/pws\/INORTH711\">Crick<\/a> . The type of info they show is in the image below. Plus recent weather trend graphs. Note that the name given on the actual station page is sometimes not that of the nearest town, but each one shows the local map, which you can zoom in or out if necessary. Temperatures are in degrees F with wind speed in mph, you can switch to degrees Centigrade using the settings wheel in the header bars, next to the Log in \/ Join options, and wind speed also then changes to kph. For total control of settings, you have to sign up. The map has a small settings wheel as well &#8211; set it to Temperature\/Wind, as in the image below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"545\" src=\"https:\/\/siteoptimiser.co.uk\/testtubes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/typical-wunderground.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-219\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These are some online stations that give live weather data, within the general vicinity of Husbands Bosworth.
