The Weather Shop in Eastbourne has donated an Oregon Scientific Weather Station to The Observatory Science Centre, Herstmonceux. This top range weather station is allowing the Centre to display rain fall, wind speed and direction and temperature and humidity in real time through a computer that is wirelessly linked to the Rain Collector, Anemometer and Thermometer. The Centre has high hopes for the Weather Station and will be adding live weather recordings to their website (www.the-observatory.org so assisting in modernising their current weather and climate displays. 

Along with the display within the centre it is anticipated that the weather station will be used for workshops, schools activities and Scouting and Guiding activities. The Observatory is used throughout the year for school and educational visits, as well as being open to the general public.
