# WIND - Sheltered position when wind blows from SE through S to SW.   1 Rain season: Jan 1st to Dec 31st.   2 Snow season July 1st to June 30th.   3 Snow manually measured usually around 7AM and 7PM.   5 Estimated amount of water needed to replace the water used by plants and evaporation from the past week. (Negative numbers mean amount of water needed, positive numbers mean excess water is present).   6 Sun Spots - Data from WDC-SILSO, Royal Observatory of Belgium, Brussels.   9 Solar Index represents either an absolute scale of solar energy (W/m²) using the station’s recorded maximum or a percentage of computed theoretical solar maximum using the station’s location and time of day. These indices differ most when the sun is low on the horizon. The current scale is shown, and will toggle if it or the icon is clicked.   10 Historical average only to day 5 of just the month of May for this station since 2008.   11 Historical average rain this season to day 5 of May for this station since 2008.

Fact 2 - CLOUD HEIGHT
The cloud height on this site is an estimate of cumulus clouds using a formula based on temperature and dew point. Actual measurements of cloud height are made with a Micropulse Lidar (MPL). This device fires a laser into the sky and measures the backscattered signal. Costs for such a device are beyond the scope of weather hobbyists.

Todays high wind speed of 19.6 mph surpassed the monthly high of 15.0 mph set on 02/05/2026 by 4.6 mph
