all about this site...
This main function of this site is to provide real time information about the weather in Peñíscola in the province of Castellon on the east coast of Spain.
The information and data is displayed in a number of formats both graphical and tabular with live data being updated every 10 to 15 seconds and providing actual readings recorded by a digital weather station located 1Km from the town centre. Additionally live images are captured by an external webcam and these are updated every minute for display.
Live data is updated every 10 to 15 seconds and provides actual readings recorded by the digital weather station whilst the webcam image is updated every ten minutes.
The weather station equipment is an Oregon WMR100 that measures rainfall, air temperature, humidity and barometric pressure. A Solar/UV sensor has recently been added providing Solar ET and UV Radiation measurements. A small solar panel provides the electricity for the sensors during daylight hours thus reducing the load on the internal batteries. The webcam is a Linksys WVC54GCA wireless network camera.
The website also provides information and news about Peñíscola and the Costa Azahar commonly known as the Orange Blossom Coast situated midway betwwen Barcelona in the north and Valencia in the south.
Additionally the site provides a bookshop for some of the publications that the webmaster Ken Anderson has played a role in either writing or having published.
