Vermillion's newest weather station

Vermillion's newest weather station

As of yesterday, there is a new source on the Internet for real-time Vermillion, SD weather data.

The pic shows the weather station, which is located near Vermillion’s historic downtown. We’ve had itĀ up a few days and started sending live data to Weather Underground yesterday.

Like all weather stations, it has accuracy limitations due to its physical placement. On really sunny days, the recorded temps may be slightly higher than actual air temperature. Because we couldn’t get it fully above the roofline, recorded wind speeds may be a little lower than reality.

We’re using a three-year-old La Crosse wireless weather station to collect the data.
