Want real-time weather? It’s just a click away, thanks to the Davis Vantage Pro 2 Weather Station at the BKW secondary school.
The automated process broadcasts data to the BKW website every five seconds around the clock.
Some of the real-time data the station collects includes:
- Wind speed
- Barometric pressure
- Temperature
- Dew point
- Humidity
- Rainfall
- Wind direction
It is also equipped to signal an alarm in the event of high winds and heavy rain.
The information has use outside the classroom as well. The Weather Services taps into the data collected at BKW and compares it to Albany Airport to get a broader picture of the region, and the district (and residents) can use it to compare oil and fuel costs with temperatures at any given time.
