Temecula Weather Pages
Description
These pages track weather conditions, history, forecasts, news and events in Temecula, California. Currently temperature, precipitation, wind, relative humidity and barometric pressure readings appear on these pages. These readings are augmented by combined readings such as dewpoint, wind chill, and heat index. In late 2004, a web camera will be added to the site. WeatherCurrents is striving to provide comprehensive weather coverage in and around the Temecula area, including sites for Murrieta, Fallbrook and Hemet. Additional sites in and around the Temecula Valley and the region are planned, see the WeatherCurrents.com main page for details. A local roundup is available to see weather data from all of sites at a glance. Other planned enhancements for the near future include graphs of the readings and tabular data of the readings for each day (much like the 36 hour summary). In the long term I hope to provide a major upgrade to the weather applet which is currently very rudimentary, and I intend to utilize the sensor outputs and an analysis of the video camera pictures to automatically characterize the immediate local conditions (i.e. sunny, partly cloudy, fog, mist, light rain, etc.). There is more about how I plan to do this on the Frequently Asked Questions page. Stay tuned ...
The source of the feed used for these pages is a Peet Brothers Ultimeter 2100 Weather Station, with the sensors located in the backyard of a Redhawk area house. The combined temperature and humidity sensor (which replaced the original temperature only sensor in March, 2001) is appropriately shielded from wind, moisture, and sun. It is currently mounted on the outside of the deck approximately six feet from the rear of the house and about eleven feet off of the ground. The sensor is a solar shielded design for increased accuracy in adverse weather conditions. The new sensor is even more accurate than the older sensor which was deployed in the same general area.
The humidity sensor produces readings within 5% of the true values, according to Peet Brothers. The readings are adversely affected by sprinkler activity in my yard and in neighboring yards. These effects are somewhat mitigated by the height of the sensor (eleven feet above ground). The humidity readings are also used to help calculate the dewpoint and the heat index. The dewpoint calculations are derived from code by Jeff Clymer.
