Pitsford Weather Centre

The weather centre was conceived by A level Geography students at Pitsford School, formerly Northamptonshire Grammar School, in 1998. It has developed an enviable reputation across the county and further afield for the quality of its weather data and local forecasts. After 18 years of manual observations, the centre is now moving over to full automation thanks to an extremely successful fundraisin

g campaign which has raised nearly £3,000 to upgrade the existing automatic weather station. The upgrade will allow the automatic station to take over all of the manual observations as well as increase the availability of the centre's weather data via Twitter and Facebook and the development of an Android and iPhone app. With routine observations now becoming automated, the centre can now devote more time to networking and building up its company of followers. Over 1500 receive our daily forecasts, and 600 subscribe to our monthly reports. By providing this page, the centre hopes to incorporate many more into the fold of local weather enthusiasts.
