For a few years I had an Raspberry Pi Zero recording the temperature of outside (Using a DS18B20 1-Wire Digital temperature sensor), inside my study (also using a DS18B20) and also the ambient outside light (using a simple LDR). In March 2022 I made the decision to upgrade and build a simple weather station, I started to work on the plans and esign everything and build from scratch.

On the evening of 31st December 2022 (New Years Eve) I decided I would also download forecast 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 for midnight, so all my data starts on 1st January 2023

I had bought all the bits and started to make everything but life got really busing in October 2022 so I kept trying to complete but never got any spare time.

I am currently decided it it would be best to actually buy a weather station or build a simpler design that just does Pressure, Temperature and Humidity.
