Current Conditions

Temperature and Humidity

Temperature and humidity measurements are averaged over a 15-minute period. Dew point temperatures are computed for each period.

Precipitation

A weighing precipiation gage measures the amount of liquid and solid precipitation that occured in the last hour.

Wind Speed

Average wind speeds are measured at an hourly time scale. Maximum wind gusts are reported every 15 minutes.

Solar Radiation

A pyranometer measures shortwave solar radiation (langelys). Values below the clear sky theoretical radiation level indicate cloud cover or other atmospheric pollution. Values above the clear sky radiation level can occur in partly cloudy conditions with highly reflective clouds.
