It is set to refresh the website data every 30 minutes and should be online 24hours a day. Please do not rely on the weather information for scientific purposes, although it should give a fair indication of the weather here in Steyning. The station has all the usual sensors including sunshine and UV capability. The station also produces NOAA daily, weekly, monthly and annual reports.
