Pacific School Weather Station is Back!
Over the summer the old station failed due to long term salt air corrosion.  The new station from Tempest is designed for marine environments. The station data is now live on the following digital sources.
The Tempest website for the station is : https://tempestwx.com/station/158159/  . If you click in the area with the current temperature it will reveal more detailed information. See the first two attachments
If you are using Weather Underground you can view Davenport weather on a web browser by going to : https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KCADAVEN22.  See the third attachment for that screen shot.
If you are using mobile apps you can either use the app's map feature to find Davenport to add the station or use it's station ID to lock it in. For iPhone or iPads I suggest PWS Monitor app. It's free and very easy to use. The station ID is KCADAVEN22.
