Estes Park Weather Station
- Current Readings
- Graphs of the last 7 days
- Location of the weather station using the US Census' Tiger Map Server. You can zoom in to pinpoint our location. There are some errors on the map, (like how US Highway 36 is depicted at the west side of Estes Park) but it does give a pretty accurate picture of where we are.
February, 2007 For a number of reasons, financial, health and convenience, we have decided to sell our house in Estes Park and move to Ft. Collins. Here is a list of other weather sources for Estes Park and the surrounding area. This station will stay operational as long as possible.
Other weather sources:
- Greg Truta's weather page
- Weather Underground
- CWOP station CW3065 near Olympus Heights (for details about CWOP go here).
- CWOP station KM6GE in Allenspark.
- NOAA official forecast
- Boulder NCAR Lab
- Ft. Collins/Loveland Airport
We purchased our weather station equipment through American Weather Enterprises. We are using the Texas Weather Instruments Weather Report (WRL-25) system which includes sensors for indoor/outdoor temperature, humidity, rainfall, pressure, and wind speed/direction.
Our system is mounted on the roof of a single story building in a wooded residential area on the east side of Prospect Mountain (see the map link above).
Weather data comes into a 200mhz-Cyrix Linux system via regular RS-232 line from the weather station display box. After the html page is formatted, it is transferred through a dial-up connection to frii.net.
A gzipped tar file containing the Perl and shell scripts that run the show is available. Let me know if you are interested.
The system has been operational since July 19, 1997.
Hits since 22-Sep-1997:
