It runs twenty four hours seven days a week and the summary data you see will be less than five minutes old. Archive data will be updated hourly or daily.

There is a hard wired link to the indoor base unit. Raw data is sent to a PC programme that produces the images that are used on this website.

North East from Torrington

This weather camera image shows the horizon towards the North East from Torrington. This view shows farmland in the foreground and the TV tower on the horizon at Huntshaw Cross near to Huntshaw village. Any cloud formation over Exmoor twenty eight miles away will be visible. The TV tower is 620 feet above sea level and the structure itself 580 feet. During daylight it may just be visible on the horizon. The weather camera exposure is optimised so that the sky features can be seen. This may make the foreground dark on a cloudy day.

At night time the tower shows three red lights above each other and not much else as we are in a rural location.

If you are in a time zone west of Greenwich you will see only the night time weathercam image, here is a static daytime image.
