FWIW, anyone wanting a weather report from the TCI is welcome to call
649-941-7050 any time for an automated report of:
Day of Week
Time (*)
Temperature (degrees F)
Relative Humidity
Wind speed
Wind Direction
Total rainfall for the day
Barometric Pressure
and some housekeeping details:
Battery voltage
Internal Temperature
Internal Humidity
It's a toll call from the US (50 cents to a couple of dollars for the one
minute it takes to read out the above), and may cost from other places, but
it acts like a Provo phone number, so it's free-ish from the TCI.
(*) Since the weather station is on Pine Cay, and Pine Cay doesn't go on
Daylight Savings Time, you may notice that the reported time is off by an
hour during the winter months, but that's a feature, not a bug.
Anyone with comments, questions, or problems is welcome to Email me.
Enjoy!
