Fact 2 - CLOUD HEIGHT
The cloud height on this site is an estimate of cumulus clouds using a formula based on temperature and dew point. Actual measurements of cloud height are made with a Micropulse Lidar (MPL). This device fires a laser into the sky and measures the backscattered signal. Costs for such a device are beyond the scope of weather hobbyists.

Todays low barometer of 1003.4 hPa surpassed the monthly low of 1004.4 hPa set on 20/08/2026 by -1 hPa
