On the evening of 31st December 2022 (New Years Eve) I decided I would download forecast weather data from the Met Office, so I quickly wrote some python code to get the data and import into my MySQL database and manged to get it working before midnight, so all my data starts on 1st January 2023

May 2025 I had bought all the bits and started to make a small weather station measuring Pressure, Temperature and Humidity.

I am using 2 BME280 Pimoroni sensors that measure pressure, temperature and humidity, also 2 DS18B20 temperature sensors for back up, these are placed in a small ventalated project box and mounted to the rear of my garage north facing wall where it is always in the shade. A Raspberry Pi Zero 2 runs these sensors and upload data every 5 minutes to my main database and my weather station page on Weather Underground (If you want to view the temperatures as degrees celsius on Weather Underground then you need to click the weather underground settings icon at top of the page and select degrees celsius else you will just see temperatures as degrees fahrenheit)
