# WIND - Sheltered position when wind blows from SE through S to SW.   1 Rain season: Jan 1st to Dec 31st.   2 Snow season July 1st to June 30th.   3 Snow manually measured usually around 7AM and 7PM.   5 Estimated amount of water needed to replace the water used by plants and evaporation from the past week. (Negative numbers mean amount of water needed, positive numbers mean excess water is present).   6 Sun Spots - Data from WDC-SILSO, Royal Observatory of Belgium, Brussels.   9 Solar Index represents either an absolute scale of solar energy (W/m²) using the station’s recorded maximum or a percentage of computed theoretical solar maximum using the station’s location and time of day. These indices differ most when the sun is low on the horizon. The current scale is shown, and will toggle if it or the icon is clicked.   10 Historical average only to day 6 of just the month of August for this station since 2008.   11 Historical average rain this season to day 6 of August for this station since 2008.

 Weather Definitions, Weather and Earth Facts  
Fact 14 - Why is the sky blue?
As the visible light rays of the sun pass through our turbulent atmosphere they lose a significant amount of their blue wavelength. Due to minute particles of matter and molecules of air within the atmosphere a larger portion of blue is scattered more than any other colour. This is because the blue waves are the shortest. The scattering process makes the sky take on its characteristic blue colour.

Todays high barometer of 1025.0 hPa surpassed the monthly high of 1021.1 hPa set on 01/08/2026 by 3.9 hPa
Todays high wind speed of 23.0 mph tied the monthly record set on 05/08/2026
