When we arrived at Bahay Pag-asa Dasmariñas, we were informed that the weather station we installed several years ago was not entirely operational. After some testing, we discovered that the weather station seemed to be working just fine, but that the obsolete computer it was connected to was not communicating with it. The answer was simple - we needed to buy another computer for the weather station. Fortunately we had enough funds from Club Pag-asa and other donors to purchase a laptop that can be dedicated to the weather station and also used by residents for educational purposes. Today we set up the weather station and computer connection and are starting to collect weather data again. Unfortunately, we don't have the wind speed data from Typhoon Glenda that blew through here about two weeks ago, but in the last photo here you can see the damage it caused on campus here at De La Salle University Dasmariñas.
This is the Davis Vantage Vue Weather Station mounted on the roof of Bahay Pag-asa Youth Center.
The weather station console on the left reports to our new computer on the right.
The computer displays current weather data and allows for meteorological analysis using graphs.
Typhoon Glenda toppled many trees at DLSU-Dasmariñas, but the weather station survived.
