Lightning detection has been on my wish list for my weather station for some time. Detectors often come as stand alone units with a display or indicator LEDs. This makes sense when the use case involves taking it along as a hand held device or installing it on your boat. However, in order to process…

My personal weather station is located in a small township in the North of the Netherlands.

This blog records updates to my setup, development of components, weather reports and anything related.

Real time data generated by the weather station can be found on meteodrenthe.nl.
