This page gives you real time information
for today's temperature; wind direction, speed and chill; solar radiation;
rainfall and barometer readings. The page also gives summary charts
for recent records for temperature, pressure and rainfall. The charts and
readings are updated every 5 minutes.
The weather data are from instruments
maintained by the National Pollen and Aerobiology Research Unit, at the
University of Worcester. This is not a Met Office Site.

Solar Radiation
This reading is a measure of the intensity of the sun's radiation
reaching a horizontal surface. The measurement includes both the
direct radiation from the sun and the reflection from the rest of the
sky. The measurement is in Watts per square metre (W/m2).
The yellow bar shows the current reading
with the red line showing the highest measurement that has
been achieved today.

Wind Direction:
28 degrees

Wind Speed:
0.0 m/s
The Wind speed chart is showing the speed
of the wind in metres per second (m/s).
Approximations:
5 m/s = gentle breeze
7 m/s = moderate breeze
10 m/s = fresh wind
To convert the readings into miles
per hour (mph) multiply the reading by 2.237

Chill:
Wind-chill is a measure of the amount of
heat lost from the skin as the wind blows across it.
When the temperature is 0°C,
a ten knot wind (gentle breeze) will make it feel like -5°C.

Barometer
A barometer measures the amount of
air pressure (in millibars (mb))
Low pressure occurs when air is warm, expands, gets lighter and rises. High
pressure occurs when air gets cold, contracts, becomes heavier and sinks.
The change in barometric pressure
helps to forecast the weather.

|
|
Decreasing air
pressure often indicates the approach of a low pressure area, which often
brings clouds and rain. Increasing air pressure often means that a high
pressure area is approaching, bringing with it clearing or fair weather.
