Whether the Weather's good?

Sunday, and it’s a bit more overcast in Swanage.

Did you know Swanage has its own weather station? Well actually we have two! The first is located near Sandpit Field and used by the Met Office for their forecasts.


The other is located at the Swanage NCI Coastwatch Hut - "The Lookout" at Peveril Point and was installed in 2007 by Purbeck District Council in partnership with The National Coastwatch volunteers, Swanage Sailing Club, and Swanage Sea Rowing Club.

The great thing about this one is it displays the data live on the internet!

Whether the weather be hot,
or whether the weather be not,
we'll weather the weather, whatever the weather,
Whether we like it or not!
