About Church Farm Weather

Church Farm Weather shows live readings from our weather station at Church Farm in Stanton St Bernard, a small village in the Vale of Pewsey, Wiltshire, beneath the chalk downs of Milk Hill and Walkers Hill.

The station

The station measures rainfall, air temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, ground temperature, wind speed and wind direction. Readings are sent over a LoRaWAN radio network to a ChirpStack server, which forwards each one to this website as soon as it arrives.

Older records

Automatic recording at Church Farm began on 2 November 2021. Rainfall from 31 May 2016 to the end of 2020 was measured by hand: the gauge was read once a day at 8am and the amount entered against the previous day's date, so those daily figures aren't directly comparable with the automatic readings.
