This Weather Station is external and self sustaining* running off of Solar. The housing is of a Stevenson Screen design; ~4ft off the ground, dual louver walls, open ceiling and floor creating an ambient environment. Window screen is used to add protection from insects, and a double roof provides protection from heat/rain.

*Although considered self sustaining the proximity to WiFi source also provides shade. The shade reduces the charging capability during winter months, and battery swaps occur about every other day. Extending the box further from the WiFi source*Issues in progress: although considered self sustaining the proximity to WiFi source also provides shade. The shade reduces the charging capability during winter months, and battery swaps occur about every other day. Extending the box further from the WiFi source

Direction/Changes/Issues:
1) Extend WiFi ranges to support moving station further out and a better sustained solar charging capability
2) Revise and change out DHT22 with an alternate form for Humidity; DHT22 Humidity sensor derogates quickly
3) Refine calibration on Rain gauge, Barometric pressure, and Humidity
4) Re-orient weather vane appropriate to moved location and close loop on (-1) directional

Weather station was replatformed from and Arduino Pro Mini to an Adunio UNO. Sensors were removed and a SparkFun weather shield added. The chnage resulted in a reduction of external wiring, drop in amp draw from battery source, increased temperature from added heat from the board, reduction on the number of available analog ports resulting in loss of battery store capacity, provided a less complex and more stable platform.

*The weather station remained dormant for several weeks until I decided how to take this forward.
