Kea- Im sure it did not rain till about 12am..Think it had rained by 1am or 2 am..When i woke up, the entire stretch of my road was wet though there was no big puddles of water..When i checked my RG, it showed about 2mm..Had to empty 20 to 25ml of water..
Good morning all.. i missed the chennai rains last week.. but was in Jaipur on a short holiday to witness some very heavy downpour.. excellent rains.. the man-made lakes are fast filling up and it was a great sight.
If anybody is interested in purchasing a Rain gauge I can help you with it. Approx the cost is between 5- 7 k. These are wireless self emptying RG with outdoor and Indoor temperature.
me to interested, but one query. I live in a flat ground floor, can fix the gauge in the terrace which is approx 60 feet above, will it transmit the data properly
After some nice rains last night, its a sunny but pleasant 25C morning… at Hyd of course π I can see that Chennai is making big strides towards its 35C mark – can it breach the month high of 37C today?

@ Temple travel, according to the specs 60 feet should not be a problem. But by 300 feet they mean without any interference. So not too sure. Can you let me know how many floors is your building?
@Velayudham, you need an open area (terrace is only place we can find in Chennai these days) to fix the rain gauge. You might need to do some drilling to fix it securely, so that it can withstand out cyclones.
By vital I meant no rain for a few days is good. The roadwork outside my house is never ending. They dug my area 3 weeks ago and still not completed due to rains. For the past 3 days cannot take my car out as well, its stuck inside my house.
Hopefully with the dry spell they can complete the laying of new cables and laying new roads. I know the 2nd part will remain only a unfulfilled wish until next year atleast.

It rained at around 6 am in the morning here, light rains, just trace. North-west areas like anna nagar might have received decent rainfall, it looked dark towards that side!
it shows everything you need, but my rg has started to show 1-2 mm less now, after 1 1/2 years
HR has oregon only he often report blank outs in his RG,maybe his model is a faulty one
oregon signal and temp are bad, but rg lasts for 2 years
are u using ambient or oregon?
I used to have oregon. it had a good rg, but temp wasn’t so good. rg worked fine for 2 years. Then I bought ambient weather which is working good in all depts.( temp humidty, wind,pressure and also rainfall.) Only rg is now starting to faulter after 18 months, but hope it becomes alright!
If you have more budget, go for ambient weather.

@kea

In TN, only the extreme interiors like dharmapuri and krishnagiri have missed out. Hosur, Ambur and Tirupattur got a few decent spells this month!
all over 28MM less for the past week.
This figures are from June 1 to 14th August.
@partha sir
You have any relatives in US/ planning to go there somehow? If you go there, get ambient weather. It’s like $150 which is around rs.7000 and it has everything. Only thing is, life is around 2-3 years
life is very low, give me a product with good quality and full weather station.
Partha sir, just wait for 3-4 weeks and you’ll start feeling jealous of the interior rainfalls! π
Chennai will also get very good rainfall, but nothing compared to the 25-35 cm in interiors.
Last september, namakkal got 39 cm
Sea breeze has set in now
No matter what rg you get, in a case of a severe thunderstorm with either strong winds/ very heavy rains, the rg will underestimate it.
Partha sir, see now. sea breeze front is strong today and is appearing on radar
OMG!! rain possible today!!
New popups near thiruvallur and sea breeze has set in!
La Crosse available for under 15k
There is an unbranded one for below 10k as well.
I brought it for 6k
I’m really not willing to go for those 2. Any good suggestions for rg/aws? I can get 1 from US soon, but not a budget too high. Or maybe, should I get a davis next year and manage with this and the taylor professional rg?
Moderate shower in Tiruttani.
Partha
buy la crosse its good π
does it show rr like ambient weather/davis?
It does not have rr…. if we go to the higher end we may get rr in la crosse
Jupi & Kea,
Both are saying the same, i will buy this one,
but i want your guidance to buy, like what kind of config for complete weather station.
Get La crosse! It’s good! But I just don’t like it. I prefer ambient weather/davis
tell me why you dont like La Crosse?
Because they sell the RG separately
Today temp would have touched 35C
@kea
I found a source to get replacement for ambient weather parts! I’m getting a new rg, so I might buy davis in the next 1-2 years!
Humidity sharply increased to 75%
The tstorm to the WNW is either very strong or has dissipated. No clear view, only anvil visible
