About This Website
This website (monktonheathfieldweather.org.uk) provides hyper-local weather data, forecasts, and educational content for the Monkton Heathfield area of Somerset, UK. The site is operated as a non-commercial, informational resource by an individual resident of Monkton Heathfield.
Nature of Weather Data
Weather data displayed on this site is drawn from multiple sources:
| Source | Data Provided | Nature |
|---|---|---|
| Davis Vantage Vue weather station | Real-time temperature, humidity, wind, rainfall, pressure | Amateur-grade hardware; readings reflect conditions at a single point in Monkton Heathfield (West Monkton Cricket Ground) |
| Met Office Data Hub | 5-day forecasts, UV index | Official UK meteorological service; forecasts are predictions, not guarantees |
| Open-Meteo | Air quality, pollen, astronomical data | Third-party aggregation service; data is modelled, not measured locally |
| Windy.com | Radar map visualisation | Third-party visualisation service; data sourced from their own providers |
No Warranty on Accuracy
All weather data is provided “as is” without warranty of any kind, expressed or implied. We do not guarantee that:
- Real-time readings from the weather station will be 100% accurate or continuously available
- Forecasts will prove correct — weather forecasting is inherently uncertain
- Air quality or pollen data reflects exact conditions at your specific location
- The site will operate without interruption or errors
Weather instruments can malfunction, calibration can drift, and communication failures can result in missing or incorrect data. We make reasonable efforts to maintain data quality but cannot warrant it.
