Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
The weather has been fairly unusual across the UK these last few weeks. No rain and wall-to-wall sunshine is quite strange at any time of year for the UK. Ynyslas has been no exception in this regard. The weather station here has had notifications such as this for days. It hasn’t rained at all since...
After taking quite a bettering from Storm Eunice, Franklin followed hot on her heels and was actually more ferocious. Wind speed topped out at over 59 knots during Franklin and they were sustained too with 10 minute average wind speeds of 58.6 knots. All recorded on the Borth and Ynyslas Weather station. Talking of the...
Do you want to see what a subscription to the Borth & Ynyslas Weather Station allows you to see? Maybe you are already a subscriber but don’t know what ‘feels like temperature’ means or why pressure is displayed in millibars and not hectopascals? Well, such questions have now been answered as I have started to...

I’ve been making some changes to the Borth & Ynyslas Weather Station pages lately. So, this is what’s new. Rainfall Data The dry weather early in the year made me realise that the rainfall data that is presented on the weather station pages was a little lacking in detail. In my defence there was a...
The 2018 drought and heatwave continues. There was a brief respite over the past few days and that maybe partly my fault. The lack of rain prompted me to do some work on the Borth & Ynyslas weather station website pages by adding a ‘rainfall’ data page. For some reason I never added this when I...
Well, the meeting of ‘The Beast from the East’ and Storm Emma were certainly a potent combination. Along with some input from out local katabatic wind Ivor, it led to some new weather records recorded by the Borth & Ynyslas Weather Station here. First to fall was the ‘Feels Like’ temperature which hit a low...
I’ve been running a weather station here in Ynyslas for a number of years now. I initially installed the weather station in 2005 at the request of a number of kite-surfers and windsurfers from the Midlands. They all used to make regular trips to the coast here but sometimes their trips would be wasted as...
