Satellite map

This satellite map links to France Meteo's weather pages - click anywhere on the picture to go to their site.

We've listed a few links here to some of the ever-increasing numbers of weather pages on the Wibbly-Wobbly-Web. Our personal preference is for the service provided by Wunderground, but with what we've supplied here, you should be able to get some idea of how glorious the weather here is most of the time by traversing any of the links on this page. We display a link to Wunderground on the top of each page (it randomly reports weather for various cities in this general locality, but that's more of a fun thing rather than having a serious purpose!)

Daily Statistics

We own an Oregon Scientific WMR-928 wireless weather station that continuously records data such as outside shade temperature, wind speed, wind direction and rainfall. It has an incredibly awkward interface but at long last we've managed to hook it up to our web pages. This is a snapshot of the minimum and maximum temperatures and rainfall for both the previous 24 hours and for the month to date.

Weather Graphs

We've decided to display some of the Weather Station's data in graphical form and the current graphs are just below. A fuller view of the data may be seen by clicking Weather Graphs.

Notes:

  • Temperature is displayed in °C and shows the maximum and minimum recorded external shaded values per day.
  • In effect, this usually means the red line is daytime temperatures and the blue line night time values.
  • A red dotted line indicates the 20°C datum and a green dotted line indicated 0°C.
  • Rainfall is the aggregated total per day in millimetres and is slightly deceiving.
  • When it rains here, it tends to rain very heavily for no more than a couple of hours and then stop - only rarely do we get the traditional grey and drizzly day that is so common in the UK.
  • The swimming pool graph displays what we arbitrarily think is the optimum temperature range (betwixt the dotted lines!)
