  1. Thank you for your reply. Yes, it is still under warranty but unfortunately it was bought from The Weather Shop which went into liquidation just after it was delivered. I am going to contact the new owners of the Weather Shop website (Tempcon Instrumentation Ltd) when they are back to work to see if they can help as distributers of Davis equipment.
  2. I have recently installed a Davis Vantage Pro2 in the harbour here in Lyme Regis. It has mostly worked very well but twice now the rain gauge has suddenly gone wild and I have been trying to find out what could be causing it. The symtoms are that suddenly the rainfall starts incrementing constantly (see chart below) at about 7"/hr. The weather station connects to the Vantage Pro console via a wireless link. The chart is actually from Weather Display live but I have checked back at the console and confirmed the same rainfall has been recorded there. After a while it suddenly goes back to normal. I will be taking a look at the rain bucket in the next few days but it's not easy to get at (mounted on the harbour master's office roof). So I wondered if anyone else had ever experienced this before or had any ideas what I should look out for. Of course when it goes wrong all the cumulative yearly, monthly, daily figures become skewed and it is a real pain getting them all corrected. The weather station can be viewd at www.lymeregis.org/webcams/live-weather-station/ (there is a non-flash version for iPad etc.). Many thanks
