There has been an automated weather station in operation at VA3LKI / VE3LKI since 2003.
The station is an Oregon Scientific WMR 968 wireless system that monitors barometric pressure and trends, outdoor temperature, humidity, indoor station temperature and humidity, rainfall - hourly, 24 hour, daily, monthly and accumulated Year To Date. It also tracks average wind speed, direction, and peak gusts. From all the data it measures, a "local" forecast is created for a 24 to 36 hour period. It is generally considered to be about 85% accurate.

Updates occur about twice per hour.
Regrettably, the thirteen year old station is aging rapidly and a remote transmitter unit appears to have failed. The wind speed / direction data are no longer available. This greatly impacts the station service and forecasting capability. It is likely to be late springtime 2016 before funds and weather conditions allow for repairs.
Below you will see a SAMPLE summary of the pertinent measurements. There are a few graphs that will give a 72 hour historical view of barometric activity, outdoor temperatures, humidity, winds and rainfall.
