WaterWeb

Version 1.4x (latest build October 2000)

WaterWeb reads data from a weather station located on the roof of the Christchurch City Council Building on Tuam St, in Christchurch City, New Zealand. Data is updated and available every minute, 24 hours a day.

The weather condition is calculated using the temperature and rainfall as factors, and the current weather icon displayed may not be an accurate indication due to the absence of a light meter on the weather station.

Features:

• Included is a night-and-day algorithm and daylight savings. Sunset and Sunrise is accurate to +/- 2minutes.
• Windchill is calculated using [outside temperature] - ([wind speed in km] / 2.85).
• Current icon is determined by:
  temp + [(15 - [avg temp for month])/3,
  where temp = ([outside temperature] + [wind chill temperature]) / 2
• Rainfall is measured by reporting the total rainfall in the last 30 minutes.
